Rare 1935(!) dated FF33 field telephone

Extremely rare 1935 dated FF33 (Feldfernsprecher 33) field telephone in great combat used condition. The small white board on the closing lid features a lot of period writing such as Ringleitung, Komp., 1. Zug, 2. Zug, 3. Zug, which indicates this piece has seen some real combat use! The lid has a one crack on one of the edges but the bakelite housing is except for one crack undamaged. The crank is not matching with the field telephone itself which is virtually always the case, the crank is an early 1937 dated example and seems to been together with the rest of the field telephone since the war ended. This is the earliest example I have ever seen and for sure one of the best field telephones I have ever had the pleasure to offer!

Note: The field phone appears to be in good shape and is complete with all the necessary parts to use it including the battery box which is mostly broken or missing. I have not opened or tested the field phone!
