German Shovel?

[Jeroen wo2]

Hi Guys,

I few months ago I bought this shovel and the guy told me that this was a orginal shovel.
It looks good to me but what are you thinking?
Is this a Postwar Dutch shovel or a Swedish?

Greetings, jeroen.

I would guess it´s a postwar Dutch.
How broad is the blade (in cm)?

The Swedish army have never used shovels like this, but the Norwegian army did use the German shovels after the war.

And can somebody tell me what's different between a Dutch post war and orginal german?
