Original straight shovel finish?

Post by Oakleaf »

Greeting all, Fairly new on here (although I registered a while back!) not new to collecting though! anyhoo...As memory serves I believe the original finish on straight entrenching tools was blued as opposed to painted is that correct? I've check with the fella at 1944 militaria and he agrees but just double checking with you knowledgeable lot I may well be wrong!

Cheers
