Default radios

A mixture of late WW2 and Larkspur . The 22 and 122 set (Aust.) are likely 1945 vintage . I believe the 122 set only saw service in the last few months of WW2, the CMF were still using them in the early 1960's.

The rare items are: the waterproof aluminium cover for the 22/122 set Aust. There is a rubber gasket that seals the lid/set, the whole unit was in theory, able to float.

The 21 foot wood mast bag is rare and I've never seen one before. Can you take more pics of it ? Not sure what it's for, ancillaries ?

The two small antenna bases look similar to the clip on bases for the 122 set case. On the rear LH corner of the set case there is a lug or lugs that locates the base , the base is for the F rods to be fitted directly to the set.
