Original Japanese WWII Type 92 Field Phone in Rare Leather Carrier

Original Item: Only One Available. We have had a few of these Type 92 Field Phones previously, but they are getting harder to find! The Type 92 was the standard WWII issue Japanese field telephone, contained in a wooden case. This example however also has a substantial leather carrier in great shape. A very interesting offering.

The telephone is complete with its handset, speaking piece, screwdriver, small spanner (crescent wrench), but we could not get the phone to remove from the leather cover, so we aren’t sure if the crank handle is present. The Wood and metal case is sound, showing normal age and wear, with a data plate likely found on the front cover. The lid locks in position properly.

The wires all appear to be intact, though the insulation has frayed heavily, and we cannot guarantee that the unit is still functional. There is some deformation to them metal lid, so it does not close easily. The leather carrier is solid, with the expected wear from age and service. The stitching has pulled in some areas, but it still holds the phone securely.

This is really a great display piece with loads of research potential. Ready to add to your collection and display!
