Lucky 7th Armored Posted February 6, 2009 Share #1 Posted February 6, 2009 Got this baby in the mail about two days ago from EBAY... First WWII shovel i have owned, and i am very please. I will post some ebay pics and some photos i took, because i have it attached to my m1928 haversack and it is a pain to get it in and out of there! Paint on the wood handle is almost all gone, but it has that worn battle look, which i like. Price=$32.00<----That's including shipping. Tell me what y'all think! First Ebay pics... Now my pics.

jayhawkhenry Posted February 8, 2009 Share #4 Posted February 8, 2009 Nice, honest piece of field gear. IMHO it is in about average condition for an entrenching tool, the case is a bit worn. Happy hunting, Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptransit63 Posted February 22, 2009 Share #5 Posted February 22, 2009 I just picked up ione that looks exactly like that. However, it says made in Korea on it. Does yours say where it was made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky 7th Armored Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted February 22, 2009 Mine was made in the U.S. during WW2, yours might be a repro or just a shovel from korea. And thanks Henry, i like the worn look, gives it character. Thanks, Haydn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOLO Posted February 23, 2009 Share #7 Posted February 23, 2009 sometimes you can find them at swap meets for around $10 in well used condition I found one made by AMES 1944 with a Korean war dated cover for $14 in the antique mall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
