Royal spade First world
 
Sell the shovel of my great-grandfather, very rare, with the Royal seal, with a very large past! The shovel was made by the Zlatoust arms factory in 1916. Spade is visited and 2 survived the war. My great-grandfather was a sapper, he was given equipment, including a shovel in 1917 in Petrograd (Saint Petersburg), during the First world war. According to the ancestors, it eliminated more than 200 anti-personnel mines. the edge of the shovel sharp, so it was used as a melee weapon. Perhaps not one death was from a blow of a shovel. After the first world war, the shovel was passed to my grandfather inherited. With her he went to the front in 1941, he participated in the battle of Stalingrad in 1942 and the battle for Berlin in 1945. Since then, the shovel was hereditary, and had lain for almost 70 years.

Thank you very much! The money is needed for training in the Institute! Unfortunately, we are forced to sell family values! Training in Russia is paid!
