woa2 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 As well as the normal Army Pickaxe, the Civilian Pickaxe was used by the Army in WW2. For Example, a Ford WOT2 will only accept a Civilian Pickaxe head in the holder. Also, I have also seen a photograph of a Paratroop in Germany in WW2 using a Civilian Pickaxe. Qurstion is, does anyone have any details about these Pickaxes and did they have any markings? Is the wooden shaft special in any way, or is it just a standard wooden shaft? I have a Pickaxe head with 'Parker' on it, which I bought from a Surplus sale about 40 years ago with several wartime dated Army pickaxe heads. Does anyone know about the company 'Parker'? Quote
