Mike ff, that is indeed an interesting Heer lanyard. It could be feasible that old stock was implemented to fill a demand. Does the gilt wash appear old? It looks old from the image. Does the backing material appear undisturbed? All we need is a period picture to verify such practise.

Acorns,I feel this is a gold Lanyard as the acorns are also gold. after 60 yrs. the coloring has changed to almost a bronze look.My Luft shown above has a true gold color to it.Also has the droop tail

The one interesting feature is a hook on the back. Do you know if this is a common feature on these?

Here's one I can't identify, it was hiding with the Navy. The disc is smaller, the lenght is shorter but the cord/knots are thicker. When I first bought it I thought HJ but looking in my books, the HJ didn't use these. Any ideas?

Raymond, I don't know much about Navy lanyards. Wonder if the hook could have been used to hang a shell, acorn or torpedo from?

Joe, I looked in Benders series on the Kriegsmarine and the acorn is in the same place as the Army. i laughed when you wrote torpedo but it does say "A 5cm long torpedo of 1 cm diameter cords intertwined blue and aluminum." Now that I would like to see. I think the hook is for attaching the top of the lanyard to the tunic. The Kriegsmarine uniforms don't have shoulder straps to hid the attachment button. I haven't looked at many Kriegsmarine uniform. Maybe at the next show.

 Oh, the hook is at the top of the lanyard.  I was thinking bottom loop. Excuse my misconception. --dj--Joe

Lanyards are great aren't they.
Here are 2 of mine. What about the green one - is it a fake??
I'm looking for a high grade infantry and one with the metal shells if any one has one to spare.

I found this thread when looking to see if anyone had posted anything on Imperial Marksmanship lanyards (No luck, unfortunately). Have a look at my Kriegsmarine lanyard, with single acorn. David!

And the subject that brought me to this. An imperial one for comparison. It is Prussian (because threads are red, white and black) and infantry or artillery (cavalry ones were worn on the opposite side). It is the base grade. Like KM ones in WW2, the base grades do not have a badge.

This cord is worse for wear, unfortunately, but still interesting.
Since this thread started, an excellent reference book on the subject has been published. It is called "Bulls-Eye" and written by Neil G Stewart and Lt Col (Ret) Timothy J Curley.
Well worth getting (I do not know the authors or have any interest in the book. I just liked it)
David!

Back of the imperial is odd. There is a fabric covered plate behind the rosette only. No rubbing strip to protect the majority of the cord (and it looks like it needed it).

I'm glad you found this thread.  Thank you for showing your lanyards. I was thinking somewhere on the forum there are some Imperial shooting lanyards. I haven't run across them yet but will continue to look as time allows. They may be in the archives. --dj--Joe
