German / Austrian WW1 Trench Shovel !

[soldon]

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

Hi,

Mürzzuschlag is in Styria/Austria, so I really guess it's an K.u.K. spade.

Best regards,

Thanks for the confirmation Lukas.
