Does anybody know about german entrenching tools?

Hi all.
I have picked up this entrenching tool. It was most likely reissued to the Norwegian army after the war. I am not 100% about the frog. It is tight to the shovel and brittle so o do not want to remove it. Just hoping someone can help me out.
Thanks

Thanks :-) I wasn't sure about the frog. Do you think it is correct?
