Original German WWII 1936 dated Feldfernsprecher FF 33 Field Telephone by St & Co. Original Items

Original Item: Only One Available. The feldfernsprecher 33 (FF33) was the standard field telephone of the German military forces of WWII. It is a general purpose field telephone designed for wired communications. It was introduced in 1933 as a modern replacement for the previous WWI legacy field telephones the last of the series being the feldfern-sprecher 26 (1926). The FF33 can also be connected to the Torn. Fu. D2 and Torn. Fu. Bl, and F series radio sets to act as a remote handset.

Ingeniously designed with what appears to be one traditional wartime style handset, the lid interior of one has built in electrical circuit schematics for informational purposes. Used by the German Army throughout WW2 and continued in service for another 25 years into the Cold War era.

See the book “Deutche Soldaten” by Agustin Saiz, pages 170/171, for more information on the Feldfernsprecher 33 phones.

This example is offered in very good condition with complete brown/red bakelite case, handset (without plug), crank handle (1937 dated), inner data plate, and is 1936 Dated, a VERY early date. The inner steel housing is maker marked and dated as follows:

00522  (St.&Co.) 1936

We unfortunately have not been able to identify the maker mark on this telephone, but it is definitely German WWII issue. We have not tested this for functionality but it appears to be complete and in working order, except for the missing handset plug. Offered in very good collectible, these have become increasingly difficult to find over the past decade. Ready to add to your collection and display!
