Farkas Posted July 25, 2017 Author Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Hi Gents Some additional pics.... tony Edited July 25, 2017 by Farkas Photos
Farkas Posted July 25, 2017 Author Posted July 25, 2017 Hi. Gents cant be sure if it is the case but this CDV is apparently the above award on the recipient.... sadly I could not get a name to go with it. tony
Farkas Posted July 26, 2017 Author Posted July 26, 2017 The lanyard is total length about 34 cm. it is made from one piece of cord. The centre braid is 15cm then one end is 10cm the other is 8.5/9.0 cm. it went from a main tunic button to the shoulder. picture 5 above shows the knotted end- a clever unstitched tuck knot. That end is unbroken just knotted then returns picture 6 above shows the only stitching required to complete to work. It is discreetly tucked in the end of the braid work. the balls are solid and bristly. Each end with puncture holes for the threading of the suspending cords/lanyard that allowed them to hang. the two larger are 4cm diameter the odd one is 3cm in width. i acquired these and the CDV together along with a number of Alpine related items -some military and some I suppose are not. tony
Farkas Posted November 15, 2017 Author Posted November 15, 2017 Hi Gents i am no longer so sure the lanyard is related. It now seems obvious to me that in all pictures I find they appear darker, that mine appears too light in colour. tony
Farkas Posted October 24, 2018 Author Posted October 24, 2018 Hi gents im still not sure about the relationship between by bits but I have since noticed silver ones elsewhere..... this pic is on another thread.... different weave but reassuring to me none the less. tony
1812 Overture Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Dear Tony, I didn't expect you to speak in this post. I think I need to help you eliminate the "zero reply." It seems that I need a "photo bomber" to bomb it. Don't be too cold! In addition, I have seen the green color of this shooting rope. What is it?

What is it? i believe green marksmanship awards were issued to Jägertruppe. Certainly green wool balls but I’m not sure if the colour of the lanyard/rope was also green. Also I believe green was issued to pioneers but for skills other than marksmanship. Love the pictures as always cheers tony On 25/10/2018 at 03:44, 1812 Overture said: Dear Tony, I didn't expect you to speak in this post. I think I need to help you eliminate the "zero reply."
