Pair of WW2 Bakelite FF33 Wehrmacht German army field telephones, 1940 & 1942

  

Pair of genuine Bakelite WW2 FF33 Wehrmacht German army field telephones, 1940 & 1942, with Reich markings. So effective, captured ones were used by the Russians during the war and NATO long after the war. The Norwegian military used them until the 1990s. Bought as working, but I have not tested.

One certainly needs a new battery, but a modern battery can be fitted for less than a tenner. Does not come with linking cables, but again these can be bought for a few quid. Full instructions on getting these going are on YouTube.

One of them is marked Feind hört mit , loosely meaning, beware, the enemy are eavesdropping. The other one still has the original German phonetic code, a rarity as most were immediately replaced with the NATO code we use today in 1945. An amazing piece of history, and a rare opportunity to get the pair.

Price is for the pair, I really do not want to separate them as they were liberated together and it seems a shame to separate them after all these years. Further details, expert viewing welcome.
