WW2 US field telephone EE-8 A in leather case

This is the well known US field telephone that could be used local or as a central set.
It is in a leather carrying case and provided with a TS-9 handset.

Condition of this set is complete, used, but not abused and no rips or tears.
Crank handle on the side is working perfect!
You have to unscrew the carrying case to find the markings on the inside of the telephone set.
In the handset is the hearing section marked with a date reading “6/44”

Mentioned in the “GI collectors guide Vol.1” on page 201.

Pretty heavy item, but very nice to put with a mannequin!
