German or Russian made WWII Finnish Army Small Saper's Shovel

  

WWII Finnish Army Small Saper's Shovel. Item is rusty and needs proper restoration.

The handle does have some cracks in it. I could find any stampings or marking on the shovel. Shovel does have to holes drill in the right side. I think one if the metal rivets on the front of the shovel is missing. Shovel is about 20 inches long and about 6 inches wide.

This is a true barn find. I took this to local military surplus store for info. They said it's either German or Russian made but used by the Finnish Army in the 1930's or 1940's. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Militaria\WW II (1939-45)\Original Period Items\Germany\Personal, Field Gear". The seller is "two_rivers_folk" and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.
