Eugen,
I think you misunderstood the comment, the lanyard loop will not be "no problem"; but it can be made if you must have it. I think chances of finding one are pretty slim.

Not having a TT33, I can only guess the lanyard loop is held in by a pin or bradded on the inside.
You can figure it out.

Depending on the diameter needed: welding rod, coat hanger, bailing wire, etc may work to make a replacement loop, or the appropriate size nail- just bend them around a mandrel and go to it.

Some parts of 'smithing are similar to blacksmithing, use a big hammer; and don't forget that one about "necessity and invention".
