[Milsurplus] [Glowbugs] Johnsen key ?

[Hubert Miller]

  Good work, Roy, finding this. The cover is exactly like the whitish 
colored cover in the second photo in the second row down.
Except there are no wood parts; there is a metal baseplate larger than 
the key; and the color is a grey.
Many years ago i bought some things from the estate of a man who had 
been with the U.S. military in Germany ca. 1946-47
and this key was in the bunch. Also a carbon 'throat mic' marked 
Ericsson. I kind of wondered if these were the result of WW2
trade between Germany and Sweden. I need to read up on that more. I 
think Sweden traded iron ore to Germany in WW2
and stayed as a 'neutral'. Perhaps this saved them from invasion and 
occupation.
I have one of the German 'People's Radios' model DKE38, which was made 
for export; instead of a swastika it has the
Telefunken logo and additional Swedish instructions on back.

I suggested that because of the somewhat well known “Swedish Key” made 
by Lennart Pettersson company:


See this website:

Where he mentions that the metal cover indicates the key shown was made 
for the military and shows a picture of the cover.
