Czechoslovakian Military Telegraph Key:
An enclosed straight key with labels on the front that read "Prijem" (receive) and "Vysilani" (transmit). The body is a dark green Bakelite.
From: N1FN: Info on this key was kindly provided by Jan, OK1XU, who says "This key was (and, I think, still is) generally used in the Czech Army. It is part of the old field radio station "RM31" (many tubes and Xtals...). Many Czech hams learned CW by a means of this key, because these keys could be found in many radio clubs, at flea markets and so on." [090]

A Training and Practice Key from Belarus:
This is a brown, bakelite practice key from Belarus. It is about 5' long and 3" wide. The base is about 1 1/4' deep. It has a single lever with a Navy-type knob on the top. There are three electrical terminals on the rear of the base. This key is unusual since there are Cyrillic characters and their Morse Code equivalents pressed into the top of the key. The numbers 1 - 10 and their Morse Code equivalents are pressed into the base. There is a buzzer and battery holder inside the base.
This key is a gift to the collection from the Radio Amateurs of Belarus. Thanks to Dave, K1ZZ and Igor, EW1IP for their assistance in obtaining this key. [171]

French Jardillier Miniature Telegraph Key:
This is a 1960's or 70's vintage Jardillier miniature telegraph key. These keys were made in Issy, Les Moulineaux, France and were manufactured for the French military and the French Post Office. The key was also used by the South African military and possibly the French Foreign Legion. It is equipped with a canvas strap that was made to be fastened over the operator’s thigh. [035]
