Description

You are bidding on a VERY RARE unused example of a WW2 German Wehrmacht (Heer / Kriegsmarine / Luftwaffe) Kopffernhorer 33 Earphone! Though this type was used in conjunction with the F33 Field Telephone (allows a second man to listen), the length of the cord suggests this was in use with field artillery units!

The Signals unit were usually of Battalion strength and generally consisted of a Headquarters Company, a Radio Company and a Telephone Company. The Signals personnel utilized a wide variety of radio receivers, field telephones and associated communications equipment in all theatres of operation. The Feldfernsprecher 33, (Field Telephone 33), was the standard issue field telephone used by the German military during WWII. The induction magneto F33 field telephone was powered by a 1.5 volt dry cell battery and could be used as a wire communication set and a remote communication set in conjunction with the Tornister Funkgerät d2, and the Tornister Funkgerät b1 and F, (Portable Radio sets models d2, b1 and F).

Made of aluminum, rubber, steel, and bakelite, this Earphone is in EXCELLENT unused condition! Originating from old storage, it retains approx. 95% of the original paint and finish! Some slight marks and wear, but nothing that detracts. Features a manufacture stamp/logo, as well as a production date of 1942. All the original wiring and plug also remain!  A FANTASTIC item for any collection or display!
