Brand new production	Welded blade	Original vs ATF

Brand new reproduction WWII German Entrenching Tools (Schanzzeug). We had these made directly from a 1940 dated original sample. The short shovels used by German troops came in numerous variations- some with rivets, collars, rolled ears, and different handle shapes. In addition to those the Germans made, they used thousands of shovels captured from other armies.

Our shovels come with a black oxide finish (aka "blued") which seems to be the more common type found on wartime shovels. Some originals were painted, others had black oxide- and a few were even made with both (paint over the bluing).

These are the most typical of the WWII German manufactured type, with welded construction. They were standard issue for all troops in the German Armed Forces- Heer, Luftwaffe, WSS, and Kriegsmarine. Exclusively from ATF.
