Default Help identifing old handset

Would like to ask please any help to identify this type of old handset.
It is fitted to an old 5 station intercom which I am at present refurbishing sympathetically.
Also any advice as to where to get a new handset cord made up to replicate the old one, its not your run of the mill plaited cord. Probably will have to be a "one off ".
Many thanks for your help
Scott

Try Geoff Mawdesley - he does excellent cords including 'one off's ' email address urjoking_uk@yahoo.co.uk. He does sell on eBay but doesn't always have them on eBay. He produced some green cords for the Bell Receiver on a very early candlestick phone I had and it was a perfect new copy of the original worn cord even down to the whipped loops at the end rather than the usual spade terminal.

Yes thanks for reminding me of Geoff. I have been in contact with him this evening and he has agreed to take on this job for me.
He is at present in his winter lodgings at Buga in South America so gets the cords made up locally over there. I would say he makes THE best cords available without doubt.
