Digging shovel ABC 1/4 00, hardened and polished, without handle

Digging shovel ABC Drents model, 1/4 00. Polished and hardened version. Brief explanation of the tang mark: 000 = small blade size, 00 = medium blade size, 0 = larger blade size, 1 = extra-large blade size. Because blade sizes used to be 1, 2, 3 and a smaller blade size had to be used, it was decided to add a 0 after the 1, and then, when even smaller was needed, a 00 and 000 blade size. So the and have nothing to do with the hardness (Rockwell) of the blade. Brief explanation of socket position: STRAIGHT on the blade means the handle is almost straight on the blade, D1/4: the socket is bent 35 cm and is often used with 00 & 000 digging shovels, D1/2: the socket is bent 55 cm and is often used with 0 scoop shovels and concrete shovels, D3/4: the socket is bent 70 cm and is also often used with 00, 0, 1 and 2 scoop shovels (sizes 1 and 2 are mainly used in Belgium). There is an enormous combination possible with this blade and the Atlas Blijham handles, shovel handles, double bent handles and shovel handles range.
