Two Lanyards for review

[HowardC]

Could these lanyards be original and if so what kind of value would they have?
Thank you.

Hello Howard,

The first lanyard (a second-pattern grade 1) looks perfectly fine to me. On the second one (a grade 1 for armored troops) the metal insignia device might be a replacement. I say this because the metal prongs are exposed on the reverse. They should actually be under the wool backing. I suppose it could be a legitimate period conversion, or it may have been messed with by someone trying to "upgrade" their lanyard. Very hard to know for sure.

Best regards,
Tom

Hey Howard,

Not really up on prices for these since I don't look for them at shows. However, I will give it a shot and say $125 for the first one and maybe $200 for the one for armored troops. It may be hard to get that price for the armored troops lanyard, though, because of the issue I mentioned in the previous post. I might be off on these prices so hopefully some others will respond.

Best regards,
Tom
