This
handset looks similar to 1905 model of "Armeefernsprechgerät alter
Art" yet lacking two service buttons. This is
easily explainable if we take into consideration that it was just part of a
staff field telephone, not a stand-alone device. Length
of the handset - 275 mm, receiver diameter - 100 mm,
weight - 1.0 kg.
