A WWII U.S. infantry shovel of the adjustable pattern, dated 1944, listed under SKU MM3245 and graded good by the supplier. The listing gives three facts: the service, the date stamp and the condition. No maker mark, carrier or canvas cover is mentioned, so assume the shovel comes alone unless the photographs show otherwise.

Entrenching tools were used hard and thrown away often, which is why a dated example in good condition is worth having for a Texas collector building a 1944 infantry impression or a display of personal equipment. The 1944 date places it in the late-war period, so it fits a late European or Pacific group. Expect field wear consistent with a good grade rather than a refinished tool, and check the photographs for the adjustment hardware before you decide.
