Just came across this surplus place selling German field phones. Look pretty good but $125.00 each plus shipping I think is a little much.

Seller Description:  "From the mid-20th-century German military, this is a fully functional field phone. Weighs in at 8.2 lbs, and comes self-contained in a 10-1/4" x 6-3/4" x 4-1/4" dark brown Bakelite case with a handset on a 4-foot cord, a 52" 2-pin jumper, 25" TT plug cord, ringer crank and a battery holder for the pair of D-cells you'll need to add. Side has slots for the carrying cord that we don't have, and the inside lid has a full schematic. Should work with standard stereo speaker wire, and we'd get a pair of these phones if we were you. Small quantity available. These are surplus and have wear and tear on them. We will pick the nicest of the lot."

It's apparently an East German FF63:

Edit to add, here's a manual with diagrams. There's  a transistor amplified microhone!
