Does anybody have an idea?
-
some markings?
maybe austrian ww1 ......
-
No markings my friend.....I have two Austrian shovel and they have ''ears'' bent, markings and they are not rectangular but pointed .......May be a variant?
Anyway thank you for your helpfullness
-
Since it is riveted and not spot-welded, it is not WWII German. But there are plenty of photos out there showing WWII German soldiers using shovels just like this one. The Germans used lots of different captured shovels.
-
Thank you M422A1.So we have clear that it may be used in WW2 but it's WW1. ''The circle narrows''...... can we say that is WW1...but German?
I think that the ears so flat ( i haven't seen ''in person'' or on Internet...but may be due to my ignorance) can tell us a lot.Anyway Thank you again my friend.
-
I think it is ww1, but not german. maybe romanian or other smaller country, that is copied german shovel
-
why not.....It's a right suspect....thank you my friend. Consider that the shovel has a profile very flat that may be you can't see in photo.
-
IMO it could be of Austro-Hungarian origin, I had one, mine was stamped "Linnemann 1917" .
Prost ! Steve.
