Description from HiBid
This single M1943 folding entrenching tool consists of a steel spade-shaped blade joined to a hinged neck and a turned wooden handle. The design allows the head to be locked in either a 90-degree position for use as a pick or a 180-degree position for use as a shovel, secured by a knurled, threaded locking collar. The wooden handle features a rounded butt with a factory-drilled hole. The face of the blade, located just below the hinge assembly, bears the stamped manufacturer mark AMES and is dated 1944.
