US Army Signal Corps TE-33 Tool Kit
The US Army Signal Corps TE-33 Tool Kit is the classic lineman's tool set fielded by the Signal Corps from World War II onward and carried by radiomen and wire crews through Korea and Vietnam. Each set includes the CS-34 leather belt pouch, a pair of TL-13 side-cutting lineman's pliers, and a TL-29 two-blade electrician's pocket knife with wood scales. Together these three pieces gave a Signal Corpsman everything needed to run, splice, and maintain field telephone and radio wiring. A correct, complete kit for collectors, reenactors, and anyone building an authentic US WWII or Cold War impression.

NICE!Mine appeared to be new surplus. Use the pouch with care as the snaps are fragile, I had one of the posts break but was able to fix it with some other leatherworking hardware I had on hand.
-
Works as intendedForval was actually manufactured in France for French forces to mimic U.S. tool set. They even used the same nomenclatures. Good representation of early reproduction. No telling if they were issued to U.S. forces while overseas. Mine came with missing back plate on flap snap and did not have Signal Corps U.S. Army stamped on the flap as depicted in photo, only Forval CS-34

Nice, new original setIt would compliment any collector of Signal Corp items. I am an electrical contractor so grabbing vintage tools are always something I look for. It was hard to compare for value since a lot of sets are used or some new and repro combined so all new was what made me get it.
