Mine is dated 1943 with SN 911. Missing the coil set and case, and the foam rubber ear covers have started to liquify and self destruct. Came with a battery still in the case and the canvas satchel with instruction card.

Some where in my files I have a copy of a British Army Trials Report for the set, which actually spoke very highly of it's performance.

Hi David,

I would be interested in seeing the trial results. This must be the MK II version (the one that was manufactured). Originally the 4 trial sets were hand built laboratory models. They had issues resulting in the MK II versions. It was felt that if the battery issue can be resolved the sets could still be deployed in the Pacific after being tropicalized.

Not to happen.
