The Norwegian forces used the FF33 left here after the war.  The changed the labels, and kept them working to the 1980'es.  I have 10 that I will try to sell, but before I try other places I try here, in case of theneed from a real serious collector.  The shipping costs are just enormous >:( .  So to the US it will end up with a phone+shipping cost of $150 for one phone. 

Take holiday in Norway and you will get 5 phones for the same cost. (But a holiday trip to Norway are not cost-less ;) )

One of the 10 phones is from 1938, and has an older circuit than the later ones.

I have a pair of these that I bought over 50 years ago att a local flea market. They are still marked with the German phonetics label. They are pretty good performers compared to the EE8 sets. Hot stamped on the handsets and some of the parts is a banned symbol.

Wow, I bought two of these, over 40 years ago at an "antique" store. I think they were about $15 each , at the time.
