Hatchet Head: Genuine WWII issue, clearly stamped "U.S. PLUMB 1944". Shows beautiful age-appropriate patina and light dark surface rust, but zero deep pitting.Handle: Original wood handle with remnants of the authentic olive drab (OD) green military paint. Head is structurally stable on the handle.Canvas Carrier: Original M-1910 pattern carrier stamped "SHANE MFG. CO. 1941" with the "U.S." stamp visible on the front flap. The Lift-the-Dot fastener and rear wire belt hooks are fully functional.Historical Context: Explain that matching a 1944 dated tool with a 1941 dated carrier is historically accurate, as equipment from different production years was regularly issued together to GIs in the field.
SHOVEL: M-1943 folding entrenching tool, blade stamped U.S. / AMES / 1945. Heavy honest patina with surface rust; wooden handle worn with paint loss. NOTE: the folding/locking mechanism is seized — the shovel will not open or unfold. Sold as-is, priced accordingly.
