Ron, Alain..Thank you for the photo's of the swivels and Portugese ID tag.
Alain, If you have any further information on these I would like to know it. These swivels are made exactly like German swivels. This begs for some explanation. Do you by any chance have an accurate translation of the wording on the tag? This might go a little ways towards deciphering the mystery.
I can only speculate, but I suspect since they are not complete lanyards they might have been sent along with the pistols for examples by the Germans. The ID tag seems to me to indicate something, but what?
This is very interesting and facilitates my research into Luger lanyards, I thank any and all who participate or can add anything to this conversation.Please if you have any solid facts let them be known.
Since I cannot say for absolutely sure the Portugese lanyard has either the brass and leather swivel or the clip type I would welcome more information. Unfortunately there are few people in the World who can answer`this important question. From what I have been able to gather the Portugese lanyard is indeed exactly like the first photo in this post. This would leave the brass and leather attachment type swivel to the German theater. Thanks again, Jerry Burney
