    ID of M1910 pick/mattock US

    I picked up a US M1910 pick/mattock today at a flea market and would like some help with the manufacturer. I'd post photos but I don't think they would help at all.

    The date I can make out on the canvas. It's 1944. Above the date is one line of letters that look like "HAMAN" with a dot after the "N" at middle height.

    The handle is marked US and under the US is a long line of what looks like three words, only the first which I can make out. Looks like "DIAMOND", second word looks like only two letters and is possibly "OF". Third word looks like 5 or 6 letters, no idea what any of them are.

    The metal pick itself has no markings that I can locate.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Handle is probably Diamond Calk. Learned they were a manufacturer of the pick head at least.
