That sharpshooter was always a drain spade to me. The round end matches clay drain tile diameter so you can smooth a bed of sand and lay the tiles with a good run. Drain spade to my late Pa, too, where I learnt it. He was an Iowa boy to put some region on it.
It is too bad you can't find tools made to last. I have a 1943 coal shovel I assume my FIL borrowed from the railroad. Glad I don't have to get to know the working end of it.
