Hello,
after a long break I want to show you something new from my e-tool collection.
A very nice German all-metal shovel.
The logo shows a pentagram with 2 letters in it, I think "SN". So far the manufactuerer is still unknown to me.
Next to it is the workshop/depot marking "T.D. VIII" which stands for Traindepot VIII of course.
From my current point of view I would date the manufacturing time of them to the late 1890s.
Unfortunately there are no documents known to me, but I suspect the German army bought a pile for testing.
I hope to find out more about the history of this very interesting shovel model.
In any case, from relic finds we know that this all-metal shovels were used in WW1.
Best regards,
Austrian
