TWO (2) Genuine USGI Tri-Fold AMES 75 Folding Shovels - Axe Saw Paddle USED Nice

Description

Up for Auction are two USED AMES tri-fold shovels (some are marked "AMES 75" and some are marked "AMES 87" - both look the same to me). These are genuine USGI United States GI Military Issue Entrenching Tools - PLUS - much more. I believe some of these tools may be Vietnam Era tools, but I'm not sure. This E-Tool has a steel shovel blade with an Aluminum "U" Handle and Grade 8 hardware. This is genuine US Military issue. Assemblies were originally black powder coated assemblies, some may have been touched-up since they were originally issued with regular black paint - I don't know. Some are used, some look new, some are shelf worn. Tri-fold design - collapses for easy carry and storage. This multi-tool can be used as a shovel / entrenching tool / axe (one side of shovel blade is sharpened) / saw (the other side of shovel blade is serrated) / grappling hook / mattock / boat paddle / hoe / fire stand/cooking stand / chair / etc. - lots of uses, depending on where you lock the handle & blade and yet can fold-up for easy storage and carry. I have several of these, bought to sell here on e-bay. This item is light, considering its many uses and the H.D. rating it carries. No Refunds, No returns. Or, great to display in your man-cave.
