Roland, I started out years ago making reproduction lanyards for the Luger pistol. They are pretty close to originals and I have gotten better at them over the years. I have one on Ebay right now but unlike the one you mention above, I have not stooped to making a poor replication and putting German marks on them.
I clearly state these are made by me in my Luger Holster Repair Shop and they are very handy for keeping your shooter from falling while at the range. I might also mention, the ones I make are very time consuming. The brass swivel is a little piece of jewelery. Very dainty and not easy to make. Well worth the $85.00 I start them at for a usefull representative example.
The above mentioned "catch Sling" has no such disclaimer. He implies but does not state the origin of these lanyards. That is perhaps why this sample, which is not authentic in any way, is at a high bid of $325.00
