Hitler Youth correct spade?

If I wanted to add a spade with cover, is there a specific one i should be looking for etc? Ive seen this for sale and feel it would add to the look.

Here is some info on the regulation HJ/DJ spades:

HJ trenching spade (Spaten)...your thoughts? | Fieldgear and general equipment

Hello all I recently picked up what is supposed to be a HJ Spade (For comparision, is a regular size Spaten, I believe that is post war) I could only find the maker "Enders" on it, no numbers or anything else. It is about 18 inches (45.7 cm) in length. Your thoughts? Rob

RZM M8/(manufacturer) is the marking you'll need to see on the official item but at the link you'll see that early spades will not have had the RZM marks. The number of rivets, the company name and the general dimensions are the important things to look for with these spades.
