REPRODUCTION WWII German helmet drawstring. This a copy of the fine weave pattern of string that you find on some original helmets. To my knowledge, there is not a comprehensive study on string theory, but I do know there are at least 2 weaves and a large color variation. The fine weave string is, in my experience, less common, but I was able to find a good match for it, so here it is. The hunt continues for a good version of the standard big weave string.

Originals varied in length by quite a lot, I made these ones in about the middle of that range at ~22 inches. Original fine weave string shown for comparison. The string is cotton and does take dye fairly well. If you wanted to dye it in coffee or tea to give it a little more of an aged color, you can do that, but these are sold clean and new. The string is a natural cotton color, not bleached white.


Price is for ONE repro helmet drawstring. Helmet NOT included.

I DO COMBINE SHIPPING! I tried to have it set up to automatically combine shipping costs, but that doesn't always work. If you feel it is not correctly combining shipping, please write in the order notes "combine shipping" or something of that nature when you order (not as a separate message). The note in the order flags it for me so it is easier for me to keep track and refund accordingly. I know there should be a simpler way of doing this, but I haven't figured it out, so this is my best option at the moment.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: I must declare FULL VALUE on customs forms. This means you may have to pay customs fees upon arrival.
