New Nickel Acme Airborne Cricket Paratrooper WW2 WWII clicker US Army Band of Brothers

This clicker or clacker is in new condition and comes with a free presentation box & certificate of authenticity.

USA (British Made) WW2 101st Airborne Cricket: For the first time since 1944 the 'Acme' cricket is available again. This little device which was carried by the paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division into France on D-Day June 6th 1944 was originally known as the 'No.470 clicker' by manufacturers J Hudson and Co Ltd of Birmingham England but quickly came to be called the 'cricket' by the airborne paratroopers. Used for signalling without the need for shouting out passwords.

After more than two years of hard work the cricket is being made once more. Not only that, they are being made by the original company, in the original factory, on the original machines and using the original dies.

These crickets are in fact original, they have just been made 70+ years after the first batch! They are made of brass and steel and then nickel (similar to chrome), plated just as in the originals! The nickel version is much rarer than the brass version as it was produced in smaller amounts and post war clacker finds reflect this approx 10 brass to one nickel.

Do not confuse this cricket with others you may have seen for sale, this is the real thing. Your D-Day paratrooper rig will not be complete without a REAL 'Acme' cricket to tape to your helmet strap or string around your neck. This item would also make the ideal gift for the Airborne afficionado in your life. I repeat, you can buy a cheap imitation for £5 (usually incorrectly marked 'U.S.'), but this is the real thing, and a lot of work and effort has gone into producing this piece of Airborne history!

If you are one of the visitors to Littlecote House England on the Stephen Ambrose 'Band of Brothers' tour, yes, this is the cricket you saw there and you can now own it! If you watch the file 'The Longest Day', you will see this item used and demonstrated several times!

Like all our items you can get a full refund if you are not happy with it!

I repeat this is a post WWII Cricket made by the same company on the same machines as the originals.
