What you have there my friend is the Satchel, Signals to carry the headphones and microphone for either the Number 18 or 38 Wireless sets. You'll notice the flap is attached further back than usual to allow the cord to remain attached to the wireless set and still be closed to protect the headset and microphone. Mine has a ZA number of either 11047? or 11847? I can't quite make out whether it's an 8 or 0. My carrying strap is slightly different than yours...it has three loops, one with a buckle, sewn onto the one side a la the Field telephone carrying strap. The strap is made by Mills Equipment Co., no date, but is marked YA 1532. Perhaps one of our resident experts (Bruce?) could shed further light on this.
