Here is a Korean War dated Telephone test set. my Dad was Signal Corp during the Korean War and i am sure he used something like this. i pick up radio / Signal Corp items when I come across them.

Very nice!  Looks like the postwar version of the Test Set 1-61-B or -C

TM 11-346 Test Sets 1-61-A, -B, and -C 1944

That's nice! You could probably repair the cord to the handset if you wanted, for display purposes. A lot of people use the black multiconductor cord they sell for PC power cables as a replica of the original wire used for the handsets. Both usually have 3 conductors, and the conductor insulation colors are usually white, black, and red.
