Thought that maybe a photo of this might be of a bit of interest perhaps....

Can you, please, post a close up on markings

Any wartime photo of one in use?

Hi Fran?ois,

I will get the camera out soon and get some more photos of it for you, it also has the rubber base to stop it sliding about when in use, and I don't think I have any photos of it in use, will do a check.

Thanks mate, look forward to seeing photos of yours.

Being an ex army morse op from some years back, I do have a bit of a soft

spot for mine.
