Gerd Becker Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Wow, nice display, Chris. Is the Heer-set complete? These are very neglegted from many collectors, but they are an award too, which needed some skill to get them. I like them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Very impressive!! I really like the upper grade heer Lanyard. Your Panzer lanyard is only the second I have ever seen! All you need now are a few from the Kriegsmarine!!Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roeland Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Dear Chris,maybe off topic but can you tell more about the shooting lanyard, I have one on a Bavarian uniform, but don't know the history of it, when was it first awarded etc.I believe they are awarded for marksman shooting? or something like that, but even that I don't know for sure.Thanks in advance.kind regards,Roeland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Clark Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 roeland if you can post a pic. on the krigsmarine what i find odd is that they never had a badge on there lanyards like the other services. roeland not sure when introduced i expect around 1934 ish when nearly all badges etc then incorporated the swaz. there are twelve grades on the army , 8 for panzer and 8 for luft if my memory serves me right. i am looking out for luft ones at the moment as seem more rare to get thyan the others for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roeland Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 (edited) my scanner has broken down so I couldn't get a good picture of it, but I still have this one on my computer, hope you can see it well enough.It's an Imperial shooting lanyard from the period before WW1.I bought this one at a militaria shop in Leiden specialised in Imperial items(the only one in the Netherlands)I asked the seller, he said there are multiple models, the Imperial, the post-WW1 and the 1934 with swastika model and post-WW2 model, he said thelast ones aren't as beautifull produced and they are made of silver-threads, the one I have is a tri-colore one, it has the red-white-black threads of Imperial Germany.As soon as I can make a scan I will post it.

Chris Clark Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 this is a nice imperial one. they did have badges that went on them sometimes too. if i am correct yours is the higher grade and correct in make up etc. shooting lanyards awarded for shooting skills. on mine the ww2 army set i have 16 to collect for the series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
