Capri Bell Brass

The "MA26106 Capri Bell" by THE REAL McCOY'S dates back to a lucky charm from the Italian island of Capri. Legend tells of a shepherd boy who, with the help of a bell belonging to the Archangel Michael, found his lost sheep – ever since, the little bell has been considered a talisman that brings protection and good luck.

During World War II, the island souvenir became a piece of military history. American soldiers stationed in Italy wore the little bells as talismans on their jackets; they were hung especially often on the collar hook of the A-2 by crews of the Army Air Forces. Demand was so great that the bells were soon manufactured specifically for the soldiers.

THE REAL McCOY'S makes the bell and chain from solid brass. The metal remains uncoated and reacts to air, hands, and friction: over time it darkens and develops a warm, brownish patina, while heavily used areas remain light and shiny – just like the originals, which were carried on a leather jacket for years.
