Hi James,
This type of strap attached to the lanyard loop was typically installed to aid in lifting the pistol from its holster. I think the lifting strap in the standard P.08 holsters an ungainly setup, and consider this option actually quite elegant. Another member, Eric (cirelaw) commissioned Jerry Burney (lugerholsterrepair) to fashion one for him--search for it and you may find the thread--or maybe Eric, himself, or Jerry will shoot us a pic. As I recall,it turned out great!
