Unique folding wire cutters in their original khaki webbed carrying holster. The metal cutters open to their full 13.5" (34.5cm) length when the handles are pulled apart. The manufacture name is embossed to one arm, along with a 1943 date. In their folded position, the cutters, with its handles and head facing upwards, fit into an approximately 26cm x 8cm webbed holster. The forward base of the holster features a rivetted inverted triangular pocket. A horizontal retaining strap with a central brass stud is sewn across the center. A large fold-over flap, with a brass snap button which mates with the stud to the retaining strap, is sewn to the top of the holster. The reverse features a vertical belt loop and a vertical brass buckle beneath that. The underside of the flap is stamped "Z.L. & T. Ltd. 1942" along with a "C" broad arrow. Included is a marked, webbed strap. The cutters do not fit properly into carrier.
