WW2 G.I. Original U.S. Army Signal Corps EE-8-B Field Telephone, Leather Case

Description

This Historical Reenacting item is from a smoke-free home and smoke-free environment.  Very well taken care of and from a personal collection of historical re-enacting uniforms and costumes.
This is an excellent WW2 U.S. Army Signal Corps 100% Original Issue EE-8-B Field Telephone in thick original Leather Case - complete as it looks - just needs batteries.  Comes as shown in the photos.  The TS-9-AP handset is in great condition.  This leather case is overall in very, very nice shape.  The very back, at some point, was painted white.  You can't see the white paint when the phone is slung on your shoulder.  Early war style leather case.
The EE-8 phone was the standard field telephone during the Second World War and the Korean conflict, and was used extensively in the War in Vietnam. These phones have been very hard to find on the collector market. You merely have to provide two D-cell batteries and connecting wire. Each phone is contained in its own canvas custom satchel with integral winder on the side. Takes 2 (present day) D-Cell Batteries.
