Field Telephone just arrived

[RamJet]

As to the straps: get rid of them, not original !!! as far as I know no webbing straps were used for Field Phones. Doesn't mean they don't exist, I just never encountered an original strap.

I got this strap, dated 1944:

















It came with this beauty:

















1937 marked and with BAL stamp (red arrow).


Have a nice day,
