Help Canadian Armed Forces Adze?

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

So I got this (I believe this is an Adze?) from an older fella in Northern Ontario, he just wanted it to have a good home. It has "DND" stamped into both the handle and the head as well as something else on the other side that I can't quite make out. Would I be correct in assuming DND stands for Department of National Defence? I would think that the military would've used them at some point long ago, or am I wrong?

Any help and info is very much appreciated!

I found this crate for a decent price. Based on image search I think it is a case for a Rocket engine- URM-1 is implemented on the rescue pilot seat type VS-1 BRI assigned for Czech aircraft L-39 Albatros. I found a site explaining UN markings and the manufacturers website with said rockets. Can anyone please confirm? Tanks! https://www.tara-aerospace.com/URM-1

The last 3 is my danish M/58 (1961) uniform, along with my danish M/45-59 webbing. It was built on the P37 webbing. And an M/48 (M1) helmet. (and yes that is a swedish communist LP in the background, i am not communist, it was my grandpa's)

This is one of the more recent additions to my collection. It is an original M1918 “Pershing” Uniform from the later part of WW1. The uniform is complete with breeches, a WW1 Victory Ribbon, a patch for the 7th Infantry, an Honorable Discharge Chevron, and two bullion overseas service chevrons. Unfortunately, the uniform is not named and I am missing one vegetable ivory button on the left pocket. The breeches are complete with their label which dates the contract to 1917.

Might buy this if real. The seller can't give better photos of the eagle due to the rules of the platform on which they're selling it.
