MatchFuzee Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 The mini rake is a McCleod tool:- http://sharky-fourbees.blogspot.com/2020/06/usfs-mccleod-tool-wildland-fire.html?m=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 The axe heads seems to be a 'Hudson Bay' type (these are of French origin) the North Americans seem to go for this style more than the light Scandinavian forest axe style, German /Austrian forest axe style such as by Muller is again different.. The entrenching tools - you don't have the universal heft , they look a bit Mittel Europe ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, bought it from Witham and was thinking of either to use or part of a display, hence asking for information, In daylight will have another look, it was sold as unissued Will see if NSN number on anything.

Surveyor Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 Thanks, but looking at the one I have it's not the same as the picture. I will try and get pictures tomorrow weather permitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwardle Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 What you have is part of the CES for the Cougar family of vehicles, Mastiff, Ridgeback and Wolfhound. The spade, rake/hoe and Broad or narrow picks attach to the head of the axe by R clips with the head of the axe pointing upwards. Not an easy tool to use.
