WWI French M1879 Spade-Shovel, 1906 Dated, Maker Marked

World War One French M1879 Spade-Shovel (Pelle-Bêche). This shovel remains in good condition with some wear on the wooden handle and the tip of the shovel being visible. There are numerous numerical markings on the right side of the shovel’s head, as well as an illegible manufacturer’s marking and a possible 1906 date on the top of the metal stem.
