Genuine Swedish/Finnish Army Ericsson Field Phone with Leather Strap – Vintage Military Surplus

Legendary Reliability in Every Crank Manufactured by the world-renowned Ericsson for the Swedish Armed Forces, this field telephone is a symbol of military durability. Designed to operate in the harshest Nordic environments, these phones were built to function without external power, using a manual hand-crank (magneto) to signal other units.

Key Features:

• Built to Last: Encased in a rugged, impact-resistant housing designed for field use.

• Iconic Handset: Includes the classic heavy-duty handset connected by a durable coiled cord.

• Hand-Crank Generator: Features a functional manual crank used to generate a ringing signal for the receiver on the other end.

• Leather Carrying Strap: Comes with its original, sturdy leather strap for easy transport over the shoulder.

• Historical Piece: A genuine artifact of Cold War-era military technology.

• Versatile Use: Ideal for military history enthusiasts, escape room props, film sets, or as an industrial-style interior design element.

Condition Note: This is Original Military Surplus. Items are in used condition and show signs of history, such as surface scratches, dust, or wear on the leather. While the mechanical parts (crank) usually move freely, these are sold primarily as collectible items and are not guaranteed for modern telecommunication use.
