I'd love to own that, thanks for sharing!..
Not the best photos in the world but here's a phone used by the artillery, it has a chest plate control box and a set of headphones. I will have to get better pics of this one for sure.
Here's another varient on the same theme.
A fantastic piece. Good though it may well be to rig it up to some field phones and play with it, a piece such as this one should have its own place in the museum. Thanks again for sharing another interesting piece from your collection/museum Jersey34.

Here is a photo of my 10 line switchboard in use at the Reading WWII Weekend in Pennsylvania. It is a fully functioning example. NH
Good thread! Jersey 34 posted an interesting item - Das Parallelschaltgeraet zum Feldfernsprecher. As the name implies, it is an adapter that allows you to insert two handsets into a single phone. I have an example that came from Rumania. After re soldering the terminals it now works again. NH
Nice one !!
I have the same one... complete with neck strap, and .... the mike for the Gasmask Will have to make pictures soon.
Do you have the official name for the "Sprechgerät" ?? I can't seem to find there original designation / name....
I know there are C37e, C39 and C42 coded ones....
Here a (bad) picture of mine
Also nice KM fieldphone (with yellow stripe) I picked one up in Ciney this year...

Hi
Here is some of mine for the thread to help build a picture of the type and styles of comms kit.
First up the telephone exchange, sadly no where as near as nicely marked as the one that started the thread.
Plus a nice bakelite phone dated 1940....possibly as desk phone, ....Germany calling, Germany calling, (ha, ha or should I say Haw Haw)
and for some reason I managed to upload a pic of the carrying straps for the field telephone. The lighter leather one is carrying the telephone exchange.
cheers
Tony
