Re: Luger Lanyards
The Luger Lanyard is an item that I�´ve been looking for for a number of years. Goertz, Still and Reckedorf all quote a number of Army and Police Orders on the lanyard. Reckendorf says that he has a number of different models. None of them are stamped and there is no proof that they are original.Ex-Wehrmacht soldies say that they used any type of strap available as a lanyard.The round Portuguese bootlace type with an attachment strap and brass button could well be a copy of the original German lanyard - but maybe it isn�´ t. My father had a Luger lanyard that he had custom made by a saddler - and this seems to have been the general practise for officers.It was roughly the same as the one in Kenyon. Patrick
