WWII mattock
« on: December 31, 2010, 11:46:56 PM »
I posted this on the G but haven't gotten any responses.  Anyone have or know where I can get a correct vehicle mattock/pickaxe?  The head should measure about 18 1/2 inches and weigh 5 lbs, with a 36" handle.

Thanks, Tom

They are mounted under the driver side door, above the shovel:
