One of the more impressive Luger photos that sticks in my mind is soldier who has either been knocked down or fallen down on a city sidewalk and is in the process of getting back up. His Luger is hanging down from a lanyard around his neck. With the Luger in the holster it was hard to get at and with it tied around your neck you can use both hands if you have to without fear of losing your pistol and still be able to find it easily enough. I have a feeling there were more lanyards used than we see in the hands of collectors today. Actually, they are quite a collector item in and of themselves.
