That certainly makes me feel a lot better about it sir and I can certainly understand that sort of thing going on during the war years when it was hard to get ones hands on a lot of things.

That little AR stamp on the shell is a nice touch, and makes it 'official'. Well spotted Ron.

A wartime assembled phone direct from the home of AE.

We got there! Teamwork!!
