Any wartime entrenching shovel will have fairly clear Waffenamps. The Swiss had an almost identical tool, so this is a possibility. The originals are usually more square at the blade, but this may be showing wear. Originals also usually had a prominent ball or swell at the tip of the wooden handle.
Real, wartime German tools retail for $100-$120 or so.
