This shovel is a very nice example of one of the WW1 produced, Model 1910, T-Handle shovels.
When the US entered WW2, the first troops were issued the old WW1 surplus Model 1910 shovels.
The reissued WW1 versions were often painted green in the field during the war, but are not dated.
The WW1 production T-Handle shovels are always stamped "US" on the metal shank of the blade, and on the wood.
The T-Handle shovel has a khaki, canvas shovel cover that could be worn attached to the belt or on the back of the pack. This one is marked Kadin Bros. 1942.
