U.S. WWII D-Day Clicker – Brass & Steel Authentic Replica for Collectors

Description

The U.S. WWII D-Day Clicker is a meticulously crafted replica of the iconic signal tool carried by American paratroopers during the Normandy Landings of June 1944. In the tense hours following their night drops behind enemy lines, these clickers were a vital communication aid—producing a distinctive double-click to confirm friendly forces without exposing their position.

This reproduction is built from pure solid brass with an attached high-grade steel plate, ensuring a crisp, reliable click sound. Its practical proportions—5.2 cm brass plate length, 5 cm steel plate length, and 1.3 cm width—make it sturdy, compact, and historically accurate.

A punched hole at the top allows the use of the included leather cord (2.6 mm thick, 1 m length), echoing the carry method used by WWII paratroopers for quick, ready access during operations. Whether intended for WWII enactments, historical collections, educational demonstrations, or stage productions, this D-Day Clicker delivers both authenticity and durability.
