Original issue WWII German folding shovels (Klappspaten). This is the last of the stores from Norway. Like many other items left in their country by the Germans, the Norwegian army used these shovels after the War to equip their own army, and they painted them with olive green paint and issued them to their troops. We had them cleaned and found that the ugly olive paint had actually helped protect much of the original German finish. Now they are back in "Wehrmacht" condition. (The German military blued their shovels rather than painted them.)

Markings: All of the shovels are marked in some way. Most all have manufacturer logos or 3 letter codes, and many also have dates and or Waffenamts. A few have double dates. There are over a dozen different maker marks among them.
