Produced in 1943, this German military field telephone features a black Bakelite housing with an integrated hand-crank generator. The unit retains its black handset and cloth-covered cord, which terminates in exposed wiring. Molded manufacturer markings, date codes, and a Waffenamt inspection stamp are present on the body, while the transmitter and receiver components also bear dated markings and inspection details. Condition shows expected service wear, including surface scuffs, age-related finish wear, exposed cord wiring, and a visible crack to the Bakelite casing. The crank handle remains intact. Measures approximately 7.5 inches long and weighs approximately 5.4 pounds (2,485 grams). Operation has not been tested. A compact example of WWII German signal equipment with strong historical and display appeal. SC
