this ww2 folding shovel was picked up at the bootsale last week, it is marked JAPAN and is in a bit of a rough condition, still works but is a tad rusty...not sure wether it should be rubbed down and repained or left as is, any advise would be appreciated.

If it says 'Japan' like you say the it's a repop, dug a lot of holes with a real one..............they are very hard to destroy but not really worth a lot. Sorry ;-(
thankyou, didn't think it worth much but i only paid £1 so not bad.....wont worry about fixing it up then...lol
cheers for the info

By the way it was used by the American forces, not the japanese. that is why I suspect it is a repop.....I'm no military expert but that's what I think......
You know there's a buyer for everything so.........................be great painted up OD Green and in the tool kit of an early military Jeep.
thanks for that info....its great to find these things out
cheers ian
