WWII Extremely Rare British Airborne Military Radio Complete Full Set No. 38 MkII Radio Pathfinder. No Reserve Price!
Description: WWII British Military Radio Complete Full Set Mk2. This Radio set is in near mint condition, complete and extremely rare.
The type of radio seen here was used in the Burma theatre, North Africa in the Western Desert in the Normandy theatre as Pathfinders. Pathfinder teams (sticks) were made up of a group of eight to twelve pathfinders a...nd a group of six bodyguards who defended the pathfinders while they set up their equipment. Pathfinder teams dropped approximately thirty minutes before the main body in order to locate designated drop zones and provide radio and visual guides for the main force. Once the main body jumped, the pathfinders then joined their original units and fought as standard airborne infantry.
Tuning range was about 7.35 to 9.00 MHz. The tuning knob, at center, could be locked in place by tightening the small locking knob into place. This set comes with the HF communications receiver, throat microphone with it's original mint box, hand held microphone and complete headset! Overall condition is MINT and the harness is complete with it's extremely rare additional top webbing clip that goes on the webbing to carry. All that is required is a standard backpack either worn as a sling bag or on the back which I will also be selling very soon that originally came with this set, if you wish to get the backpack set as well, please let me know as I will sell the full set together. This set is complete also with it's x3 piece antenna that slots into the top and look fantastic slung over the body shoulder and was it of my WWII British Paratrooper or Infantry Soldier, The Australians also used these in Burma!
These have become unobtainable rare and only starting a $1, 000 USD starting bid with no reserve price!Thank you and good luck chaps.
