In pockets of early flightpants for pilots was a small ring sewn-in (simular to watch-chain-ring) - might been the same here?

There's no ring in my pair of jump trousers, but there does appears to be a very poorly sewn piece of rayon material that may be a sort of loop.
Thought you would know the answer to this one Patrick - given the number of pairs you own !

Anyone have a pair with a ring inside the knee ?

Yes I have some - but not an very early pair...
Guess only those had the ring, later it was up to the wearer how to fix it.

Another type. Comments. These photos were taken with my phone, can do better details with a camera if needed.

Unusual Mr. S. Here is another unusual lanyard, at least unusual when found on gravity knives.

Great knife, John I like what I see..Galatas,Creta, May ...I think they could use any of available lanyards especially in action times ..

Must the lanyard always have the carabiner hooks? Mine came with the knife.

Yes, it is a British pistol lanyard, so maybe a Brit, or Kiwi souvenir.

Very interesting detail, this means that knife continued to use further in actions but from other side/
