This coincides with what IÃ?Â´ve found (and with Reckendorf - or did Reckendorf write this?). BUT - it still leaves us with the likelihood of eventually being able to find a WWII Wehrmacht lanyard. By the way, there are plenty of pictures of WWI German Army units and individual soldiers WITH lanyards (also in Goertz first and second editions).It would be of some interest to find out whether the Portuguese lanyard was based on a German model or a pre-WWI Prussian model.It would also explain why they were not Wa stamped (no space on the bootlace).
