Hello, good morning everyone, I ask for your help to identify this shovel. The seller says that it is german from the Second World War, but it does not look anything like the german models that I know, this ends in the shape of a beak. The marking doesn't sound familiar to me either, can you give me a hand? Thank you for your answers

It is the simplyfied Russian WW1 shovel model.
The carrier is Austro-Hungarian, but I think a private purchased one.

Thanks for your answer, searching on the internet I can't find one like it, could you tell me the model or where I can see one like it? They ask €50 for it, it is a fair price?

Here are some of my collection.
Most of them were built with a flat blade, some were later cut to a point and also some were built pointed.
It's ok to buy, if you like it for your own.
