Swap one : Set of Two Czech Military Field Telephones


So, first swap done.


Cuban Poster swapped for a set (x2) Czech military field telephones.


Neil apparently is a former lawyer who now sells military stuff, not a big army fan he tells me but beats the office. He’s no stranger to swapping himself having swapped some of his military stuff for a 17ft sailing boat, nice work Neil.


These field telephones date from the fifties and are made of bakelite. Apparently if connected with two core copper wire and a 9v battery they are still fully operational. I haven’t tried it yet, so can’t confirm this but may have a go during week will keep you updated.


They are quite a cool and unusual thing, perfect for both warfare and connecting your shed to the kitchen. As usual I’m open to all kinds of weird and wonderful offers.


What will you swap me for…… A set of Two Czech Military Field Telephones.
