    Need some help with this military field phone, please.
    Would anyone know the maker, era (WWII?), what language? I think the warning message means something like "Enemy is listening!" but I'm not sure of the language. You can see it's a model TP 25 and the serial number is readable.

    All help is much appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Czech. And, fyi, here's a great web site, Google Translate, where you can get answers to language questions. (According to Google Translate, it does indeed read "Beware, the enemy is listening!"

    Looks too clean to have ever seen the battlefield, but I could be wrong. Especially the Bakelite case. Could be more recent than WWII.

    Fairly modern. The local surplus store had hundreds of them and they moved slowly at $20.
