A WW2 Throat Microphone & Recr H/Gear No 5 MKII ZA19605 & British DLR No 5 Headphones.

Throat microphones were used by the British armored units as well as Royal Air Force. The previous owner told me that this one was from a Lancaster bomber pilot.

DLR No 5 Headphones were used with the standard British WW2 Wireless Set complete with the original WW2 periopd cloth covered cable. Both the earpieces are marked ‘DLR No 5 & some other writing. The webbing head strap is marked but it's very faint to make out.

A nice item for the collector of  military or RAF items.

It's in original & expected used condition for an item of this age & nature.  I don't know if they still work as the jack plug is missing off the cable.

"They were used by the RAF & by the army. The mic was worn around the neck & was designed to pick up vibrations direct from the voice box. The two leather covered sensors were pressed against either side of the throat. The great advantage of the throat mic was that it could be used effectively in very noisy environments, such as inside a tank or an aircraft in combat. Even loud sounds around the wearer would be largely rejected. Although the audio quality is not fabulous, speech has a high degree of intelligibility".

Please study the images as they also form part of the description & please do your own research.
