tomaustin · 07-01-2013, 10:12 PM

really missed on a great item for sale last week....Jerry hand-made a very limited number of lanyards and offered in the for sale section...i got in just under the wire and bought one of the last two he had made....well crafted...go to the "for sale" and scroll back to read the details of how he makes these....

I was the other recipient and it's not the the one he put up for donation that is coming also. Mine arrives Wednesday. I only need to find a Cavalry, Dragoon or Uhlan unit marked luger to put it on. Preferable either a Dragoon or Uhlan

my lanyard is too nice to use....i need something rummy-looking at the range.......

Tom, Ed..Many thanks! I have to agree... they are a thing of beauty. As dainty as they look you really can use them.
The end result is a culmination of many years of Luger lanyard research, acquiring a half dozen original example's and my many years of experience as a gold jeweler. It makes me happy that you appreciate them.
They start out as all raw material..leather hide, brass stock and thread. I hand make each and every leather & brass piece and put it together. Part of the enjoyment of what I do is to see what you see..a complete piece of art. It's a satisfying thing to do.
Thanks so very much for your patronage. I appreciate it very much.

Mine arrived today..................I've already re-sold it to a Local Yocal for $250.00 as an original......................

Thanks Jerry, it will be a nice addition.

Ed, I've already re-sold it to a Local Yocal for $250.00 as an original

I've seen it happen before..

Here, sunshine is pumped in and moonshine out so that should tell you there is a lot of in-breeding done here.

I have one of Jerry's creations and it is nice, really works and everyone enjoys it. Simply superb.
But, selling as an original. That I think is a bit much. To each his own as the saying goes.

Jack, As with everything else there is a broad spectrum of knowledge. I would NEVER see one of my lanyards as an original but I have seen my lanyards OFFERED as an original. I have 6 original lanyards and there is a noticiable difference. As there should be.

NoncomRetired · 07-04-2013, 04:04 PM

It was a joke, Jack, a way to say the difference from a copy to an original for Jerry's work takes an experienced knowledgeable person. It was a compliment to Jerry.
