Lanyard loop id

Gerben, I have been doing extensive research on Luger lanyards for the last five years or more. This is an example of a Portugese Luger lanyard. They are relatively rare as they are quite fragile in their construction. It has been my opinion that they were not built to withstand what is normally expected of a military lanyard. Consequently they broke or were damaged and discarded. I cannot comment on what is left of the stampings that are present. In fact this type of lanyard is one that has really escaped much of my research because not much is known about them by anyone. In Luger Tips, the Lanyard identified as a Portugese is not. It is a German lanyard.

Gerben, I would be very interested in purchasing this lanyard if it is not something you plan to keep in your collection. If you do plan to keep it I would be interested in receiving your permission to use the photo in a publication I am planning. I would love to see the other side of the leather tab that connects to the metal swivel...Could you possibly measure it's length and tell me what it is? Please get back to me if you get the time, Jerry Burney
