Marconi Bug/Paddle Morse Key Made For The Diplomatic Wireless Service (DWS)
This unusual looking device is a Vintage Marconi Bug/Paddle Morse Key Made For The Diplomatic Wireless Service (DWS). The key is made from brass, with a plastic covered paxolin paddle, and the base block is steel.
There was probably a label on the side of the base, which include the figures IJ7 but the rest of it is illegible.
This one is in fairly good cosmetic condition with a few scuffs and scratches commensurate with age and use. It is unboxed and is fitted with a jack plug.Approximate measurements:
- Length (including key): 15 cm (~6")
- Base Width: 7.7 cm
- Maximum Height:- 6.8 cm
Base Dimensions (W.H.D): 12 x 1.2 x 10cm
A nice piece of radio history!
