WWII Capri Bells (limited repro edition) for sale...

[PADDY]

Just saw this and thought some of you fly boys might like it.

Aero are doing a very limited run of the famous Capri Bell (flyers would go to the island of Capri during the Italian campaign for R&R, and pick up these good luck charms) as worn by 'cool' aircrew who would hang them from the throat hook of their leather A-2 flight jacket.

I know that on VLJ-III (a flight jacket specialist online club) they were recently discussing how expensive original Capri Bells on The Bay were getting. I've seen these repro babies in person, and they look great! Just the thing for your 15th AAF look!
Plus at only a tenner (£10 UK), well, a sight cheaper than an original!

CAPRI BELLS

Just the sort of detail I like.

Spose I could get the bell before the jacket?

Those dang things drive me nuts. Every time you move, it jingles. The Acme Thunderer I have on my jacket makes too much noise as it is.

Fun stuff, though...just try not to go all Adgar Allen Poe.
