I have seen Luger lanyards and there are different styles. I know the one I am most familiar with was attached to a WWII Bulgarian and it was made of leather and instead of being a flat strap was round in diameter (about the size of a pencil at it's widest but tapered down smaller). There is a fellow here is the US who makes reproductions that are virtually identical to the originals (the major difference is cost). There were different lanyards issued for cavalry, motorcycle squads, foot soldiers, etc. Longer ones for around the neck and shorter ones that attached to the belt.
