These came with radio items I purchased. They are NOS original replacement headphones with everything except the actual ear pieces. I opened this one, but have a few more. The leather on the head band is very supple and in good shape. The wires have terminal ends ready to attach to your original ear pieces. Great to rehab your originals or add newer production earpieces and make them work. $35.00 plus shipping.

Re: FS NOS WWII Headset in original box
Can you post a pic of the markings on the box?The headband appears to be commercial post WWII and the cable is a microphone cable.

Re: FS NOS WWII Headset in original box
Hi,
Thanks for pointing that out to me about these. I went and re-looked and there are no markings on any of the boxes. The only other markings I could find on them was HB-7 stamped into the square-ish piece of metal which holds the adjustment arm of the earpiece. The small wires feel very much to the touch like the original wires I have found in EE-8 field phones, and about the same gauge of wire. These came with a large amount of WWII radio parts, which also contained some KW and VN-era items, but the bulk was WWII so I assumed these were WWII. So these could be later. Still, they are brand new and look enough like the WWII-ones that they could be used for display that way.

Re: FS NOS WWII Headset in original box
If the wires on these headphones are in good shape, the headset elements are the very easiest parts to get to make these work The cloth wires require a piercing connector on the wire ends to connect them electrically - you can't solder the wire, and the insulation piercing end are very hard to find. Your headband looks like the wires are in good shape, and the connectors are already there.
