Correct Brass and steel construction. Marked "U.S" As used by U.S. Paratroopers on D-Day in WW2! A clever way to communicate without speaking. Copied directly from an original in the IMA collection. New Made Item: Remember The Longest Day? Historical Fact: US Paratroopers were issued these clicking "crickets" which were intended for use to communicate with other Airborne troops in the total darkness of night immediately preceding the Normandy landings on D-Day June 6th,1944.
