Sometimes I see something that I like enough to check the price, which almost always causes me to promptly put the item down as my eyes bulge in shock.

I'm not clear what you mean by a d day clicker thing? A historically accurate gadget for two euros does sound like a good souvenir though.

    What I meant was one of these:

    Those were cheap, mass produced clickers or 'crickets' that were supposed to help to identify friend from foe. If you heard activity nearby you gave two clicks,and if a response wasn't given, you'd assume a foe (the call sign 'flash' and response 'thunder' was also used as they are shibboleth , hard for Germans to pronounce).

    Ofc it isn't an original one, but absolutely historically correct, in that they were cheap and mass produced. It's proved to be a conversation starter and thus absolutely worth it's price.
