Kappmesser with what kind of lanyard?
It looks like it could come from a parachute line, or?
Can anyone tell me what the lanyard is?
I bought this from a Viet Nam vet. He said when he was going overseas in 1971, his ex-father in law gave it to him to use over there. But he left it at home. As the story goes, the WWII vet (father in law) took it off a German FSJ in northern Italy at war's end. The catch was broken off when the VN vet received it.
Any comments appreciated.
