gunbarrel Posted July 24, 2008 Share #2 Posted July 24, 2008 Nicolas, Here is a copy of a photo in my personal collection that shows a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne wearing a pick mattox. I hope it helps. I always thought that I would hate like hell to jump off an airplane with that thing strapped to my side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
