What is an elephant hair bracelet? Was worn by safari hunters and natives?

It's hair. You need to treat it like leather, wood, or anything else with natural oils in it. Without periodic conditioning it will dry out and start to fall apart.GentlemanFarmer said:Is there anything special you should do to prevent that from happening?
I tried this link and the ones listed aren't real elephant hair, even though they're constructed the same way as the authentic bracelets. There are a number of companies that sell wire bracelets made in the same style as real elephant hair ones. There are also a number of companies that use grass, horse hair, or other substitutes for elephant hair.rumblefish said:Galazan AKA Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Co. has them.
Type in Elephant in the search window at the bottom left.

I could do a more thorough search of ESA and CITES regulations, but some brief research turned up this information.Prairie Shade said:Would be interested if anyone could enlighten me as to the laws in Africa for removing items made of wild animals with or without a license.
