Need help with this shovel.

Hey Guys,
This buy came up on a whim today and at first glance I thought it was German. I do know it's WWII as the dates are marked on both the shovel and the cover. I'm not by any means a German Field Gear Expert (or any field gear guru except for American Gear) so I'd like to get this ID'd before sending to the Estand. Thoughts? I think it's German, but I'm just not sure.

The cover is definitely Swiss (google Guggisberg). Not sure about the shovel as I can't get to my references and shovels right now, but I suspect it to be Swiss also.

Damn... Oh well. I took a chance on it. Still a cool shovel. Maybe I'll just put it with my jeep Thanks for the help

Nice Swiss matching set, but not the same $$$ as a German set by far.

So it's not the same as a german shovel, but what's a good asking price for this? I haven't been able to find much on it really. If it's not that good, I could just keep it with my jeep once that's restored, but I could also use the money as well

[Stepdale]

No idea as to price, but in my experience I've rarely seen WW2 Swiss items sell very quickly even at low prices. You could give it a try on the e-stand and lower your price until it sells, or just keep it for personal use.

Still a nice Swiss produced during WW2 ET a lot of the surplus ones are not ww2 dated. timothy
