WWII USMC Marine Corps Fixed Handle Shovel - Dtd 1945 Very RARE:
$140.00
Up for Sale is a WWII Era USMC Marine Corps Non-Folding Fixed Handle Shovel. These were marked: US E.M.P. Co. 1945 The wooden handle has no deep cracking or splits. Rusty.
These shovels were used to supplement the supply of M1910 T-Handle shovels used by the USMC. They are quicker and cheaper to manufacturer than the more common M1943 folding shovels being used by the US Army. Additionally they were much stronger. There is not a lot of information available on their production. There was one company markings them: E.M.P Co. They appear to have production limited to only 1945. After the war, the USMC adopted use of the M1943 folding shovels and discontinued this model.
So this is very rare shovel.in my life I have only seen 2 such shovels.
