Legend has it that Vietnam War pilots and crew who survived crashes in Bell UH-1 “Huey” helicopters made bracelets from the wreckage’s rotor chain (also known as “silent chains” or “shoot down chains”) to wear as a badge of honor.
Please complete this form or email Travis. And, if you have stories or information about the chain and bracelets, please share them! We are trying to build an article from first-hand accounts from the vets who were there. If you are looking to purchase a bracelet, or sell a length of rotor chain, We wish to respect the symbolism of these bracelets by limiting their availability to those who best deserve and respect them.
They have profound meaning to those who paid greatly to earn them. They have provided us signed and notarized documents of authenticity. We have both bright silver stainless steel and black high strength steel. As a service to our veterans, their service, and their memory, we are asking that only veterans and close relations inquire about obtaining one of these rare bracelets. They have been authenticated by NW Helicopters in cooperation with engineers at Bell Helicopters. NOTE: We have recently acquired a few sections of Huey and Cobra rotor chains that are in good condition for creating bracelets. Bracelet made from bright silver stainless steel rotor chain with a stainless steel clasp.
