my straight key was liberated  in 1982 from the command base over looking 
Port Stanley Falkland Islands during the Falkland Island War.
it was made in the U.S. for the LU Military.
a Gurkin Major liberated the key when they overran the comm post. he gave 
it to VP8LP who gave it to my on my last Dxpedition to Antarctica.
it is Big Green and Heavy. key is enclosed in a medal case with a tension 
adjust knob on top and the finger pads coming out the front.
