SE499 A1 TRANCEIVER, German WWII, WW2

Telefunken designed this transceiver in 1935 to try to meet the German Army's
specifications for a new portable transceiver that would replace the old Torn.Fu.a.
The contract was won by Lorenz with Torn.Fu.b1, as everyone now knows.
A Torn.Fu.b is therefore the SE499A.
As there was Lorenz who won the contract with the army,
Telefunken tried to export this radio to other countries.
They sold 180 sets to Austria. After the "Anschluss",
these were used in the German / (Austria) army.
Some radios were also sold to Sweden. 12 of these were delivered to the
Norwegian units who trained in Sweden. When the war was over,
these units come back to Norway as police soldiers.
These 12 radios come then back to Norway. This radio I show here is one of these 12
A thank to Funksamler for this information.

Here I have mounted the antenna on the transceiver.
The wire from the antenna is attached to the adjustment
button at the bottom of the antenna mount.
By turning this will coil in the top adjusts to the max antenna current.
