            It looks like you have a nice example of a Grade 10 Marksmanship Lanyard.

              Does anyone know if any of the Wehrmacht lanyards are already being copied and if so, would anyone be able to post exmples of fake ones to compare??? Cheers, Torsten.

                what would a grade 10 be worth?

                  Question One - What would it be worth? One in the condition like the lanyard shown in this thread probably sells from between $150 - $250. That's a pretty good spread.

                  Question Two - Are they faking the lanyards? Kind of. That's a helpful answer. The simplest faking involves using a West German or East German lanyard with either an original badge or a cast fake. These are pretty easy to spot.

                  A more complicate faking takes an original badge, Grade 5-8, has it gold plated or gilded, then adds it to a lanyard (original or substitute). The best I have seen had badges that shown like the sun on lanyards that had backing material down the length of the twisting that had lines running lengthwise - that is incorrect - the material should have lines running across the material.

                    Tim, thank you very much for your explanation.. .just one more silly question from me : What is this grading all about?? Never heard that before? Are there any online tables to compare and determine this grading? Cheers, Torsten.
