Signaling Clicker (“Criquet”)

Small brass clicker, rectangular in shape, with a curved spring plate that emits a metallic “click-clack” sound when pressed. This reproduction commemorates the 50th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy (1944–1994). The design replicates the model used by paratroopers of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions during the night of June 5–6, 1944, around Sainte-Mère-Église, to identify friendly forces in the dark.
