I got the Entrenching Tool Cover made by Specialty Defense - sourced from McGuire Army & Navy. I could not tell if it was surplus or new because it was in excellent condition. I also cannot testify about product from alternate sources to Amazon. You can tell the fabric has that slight stiffness from the specification water-resistant coating. There was no discernable odor to the cover. The stitching was perfect; the MOLLE webbing was in perfect condition as were the snaps and front buckle and its webbing. The ribbon cording around the case top was in perfect clean condition (with that distinctive shine), and the water hole grommet at the bottom was also in excellent order without wear or tear. Obviously, your product might vary from mine on any of these conditions, but I am very pleased with the purchase quality, condition, and price. It is a standard military issue cover, but I am using it on a consumer Taiwan-made "American Family Camping" folding shovel that I got at a thrift shop (new in its original packing). I was curious/concerned whether the cover would fit the shovel (or vice versa), and it does perfectly. There are a variety of these folding entrenching tools out in the market and some are smaller than others, often without useful measurements posted. My knock-off military shovel is 9 and 1/2 inches from tip of blade to top of handle FOLDED, and the blade is 5 and 3/4 inches across at the widest. It is 2 and 1/2 inches thick lying on the rounded blade to the top plane of the handle (as folded over the shaft and blade). The open dimensions (handle extended) are not relevant to the cover fit. This shovel fits very snugly in the case, and that is what I want - not to have the tool shifting around when carried or worn. This is about the biggest shovel/tool you are going to get into the case comfortably - but it fits perfectly. Now you can deploy the ruler or measuring tape before you buy. Good luck to you, and my hat's off to the vendor of my MOLLE shovel case.
