Scarce example of the Model 1905 pattern folding saw used by specialist Imperial German units such as Cavalry, Pioneers & Machine Gun crews until 1915 when it was also then issued to infantry formations, having proved its extreme usefulness on the field. Coming in a sturdy brown leather case with two buckled belt loops to its reverse and a buckled flap the case contains in its front compartments other tools including a file (Feile), an awl (Ahle) & a gimlet (Nagelbohrer). Over this is a separate buckled flap that secures with a star snap button to secure the tools in place.
 

It should be noted that during the Great War, examples of the carriers made out of clothe was also produced.
