Post Lanyard loop id

Hi,

Does anyone recognize this type of lanyard loop?



I came across it this weekend and there are some clues, though of a speculative nature, that this might be a lanyard used by the Dutch Navy.

Pictures of KM (dutch navy) personnel wearing Lugers attached to a similar type of lanyard can be found in several Luger books, but I am in doubt. It might simply be a british lanyard or something completely different....

There is a faint stamp on the bottom leather piece where the letters INF or INE are visible.

Smell of the leather is 'old'...

Comments or suggestions?

Gerben
