Could someone help me identify the manufacturer of this wehrmacht shovel! It has markings WaA86? and a larger stamp of maltese cross? inside a circle!

Bumping this, as i got one just like it.
Everything other than it being riveted rather than spot welded, is WW2 German spec, and it has the same stampings as the one above, but the waa number is faint.
I got it of ebay, it wasn't listed as wartime, and was covered in brush painted Red oxide primer, and it had been on there for a long time, and stamps was not visible under the paint. It came with a prewar cover in really bad condition, but with readable markings: KWK, 1936 and a Reichwehr waa stamp.
I have stripped the primer, and used it a bit for reenacting, hence the mud.
Any input would be great!
Sorry for the bad photos, but my phone is all i got at the moment.
