Another of my acquisitions which I purchased a while back, but never got around to posting, a 1917 dated portable field telephone 'C' MARK II. These are now extremely rare, and the ones that usually come up for sale are often found in poor condition - but this one is very good. Measuring just 12 X 11 X 6 inches, they weigh almost as much as a Bren gun, the heavy portion of the set being the magneto in the back of the case. Just visible in the fourth picture - which isn't orientated correctly, and apologies for that - is a 1917 dated Galvanometer which was used for checking line currents on field telephones and detonation circuits. Both instruments are extremely well made.
Cheers,
Steve
