That would be amazing to see.. quite impressive to have a full set.by Neil Hever
You mentioned mine being heavily cut up, other than the vertical leather pouch being missing, what else might be missing/cut up? I figured it was only the pouch that was missing based on photos I've seen.
A period photo showing Tornister 1 and 3 contents. Note the shelf units for reels, attached cabling poles and the leather pocket for the Abspuler device. These components are all missing from your example. Neil
If you go to Fernmeldetornister - der-Fernmelder.de, you'll see they have tons of photos. I think in the example photo I had, they left the poles in the pouch.
So the hacked up part your mentioning was just the pouch being removed or more than that?
Oh yeah. I forgot to thank you for confirming the fur being cow fur. I read different sources and it seems like it was cow was the likely material for this tornister.
Not exactly kit that fitted in these tornisters, but I have this very clean hand reel that the signal troops would have used ......

That is very cool. Thanks for sharing.
