This is a quite rare 1940s Group 14 No. 2 MK II WT 8 Amp Morse Key ZA2869 with no brackets and a P.O type tensioner (compression spring) on a parallel bearing pin. It is unusual in that it has a bakelite arm and body where most of this group were nickel plated brass.

A great find for all collectors of military keys or radio communication aficionados!

This example has a small chip to the base.
