Morgan, These are recently made...The wire swivel is a period design. Joechim Goertz sent me an original lanyard years ago with this type of wire swivel. The rest of the leather fastener and strap show a complete lack of research. The hollow rivets to hold on the fastening button and the square shoulder strap are not right. Also the fact that it has the marking "bcb 43" indicates to me an effort to decieve. This is surely not a Military accepted item nor was it issued.
As Tom says, I have never seen a lanyard such as this one. I have seen many original lanyards. Jerry Burney
