TS-11 is very rare to find as much as BC-222 radio. Months ago in Ebay one TS-11 was sold for over 120 $ !

Good luck :)

You should also note that TS-11 handset was supposed to be used only with BC-322. As per manual, BC-222, however, was supposed to be operated with a T-24 microphone, not a TS-11 handset. T-24 microphone had a jack attached to its cord allowing the connection of up to two headsets. Somehow, the Signal Corps seemed to prefer this combination of microphone + headset for the BC-222, probably because BC-222 was supposed to be used in the artillery net, which required enhanced listening devices. On the other hand, BC-322 being an infantry backpack radio, a handset would be OK. T-24 microphone is a lot harder to come by than TS-11 handset. Good luck finding these rare items!!!
