US WW2 Original M1944 Folding Entrenching Tool Shovel With Wooden Handle Various Dates

These shovels replaced the old style "T" handle shovels that were originally issued during the First World War. They were designed to take up less space and be easier to carry. The shovel can be opened fully to be used as its intended design, but can also be opened half way and used as a "Hoe or pick". This allows the user to efficiently dig any kind of hole!
