Black Dudley Posted 5 April , 2018 Share Posted 5 April , 2018 Picked up this Trench spade / shovel, it has a makers mark - Bleckmann Mürzzuschlag and 1915 branded on the handle. Thought at first it may be German, think due to vee shaped front edge it is probably Austrian. Can anyone help, say which it is. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
