US M1942 Mountain Troop Shovel Cover M1942 Mountain Troop Shovel Cover. A special cover for the M1910 T-handle shovel was issued to mountain troops with the hook mounted near the bottom of the cover instead of near the top, so that it would ride higher on the rucksack or belt.
Most of the surviving examples were converted back to regular shovel covers, so originals are very rare. My deluxe reproductions are assembled entirely from vintage canvas, webbing and hardware, so they are identical in every respect to originals except the actual date of manufacture.
There are three types of outer boxes: Type 1: Plain cardboard with no menu, Early War BREAKFAST, DINNER, or SUPPER Type 2: Plain cardboard with menu, Mid War DINNER or SUPPER Type 3: Camouflage printed with menu, Very late war, (most camo boxes did not reach GI hands until the end of the war and beyond.) SUPPER only * Each box comes with inner and outer boxes. Some folding and gluing required for assembly.
