Description
These fantastic pocket pieces of magic are a must-have for any US Paratrooper impression. The Acme No.470 Clicker is a perfect replica of those used by the 101st Airborne Division during the Normandy Landings. When we say perfect, we mean it! These are made in the UK by J. Hudson & Co., using the original tools in the original factory! Clickers have excellent sound quality and feel solid and secure when clicking. They are made with polished brass, measuring approximately 2.3cm x 5cm – it reads “The Acme” and “Made in England” on the front.
The clicker was sounder after landing to identify friendly troops behind enemy lines, without attracting the enemy’s attention – simply genius.
This also comes in a classy, stapled cardboard box and includes a certificate of authenticity. This is a real piece of history and would make a great gift for history buffs or collectors.
