Excellent find!Proper field telephones, indeed! They were made from late '40 onwards and made and used post war too. Unlike the Set 'F' types like the one's I've just aquired and Yith has, which are more HQ and emplacement sets; the Set 'D' and Set 'L' were used more "in the field". I'll have to get going and start building a field exchange so we can use 'em all for events!

WW2 (and '50s post war) Russian field exchanges were very similar to British ones, as we gave them the designs (and think even lend-leased a few British ones before they stated production of their own). They should be cheaper to get hold of than a genuine Brit one, is totally compatible and'll look virtually the same.

In fact, it's a little snug around the torso, so I'll have to wear it around the house tonight, to stretch it...
