Heer lanyard for review - Opinions appreciated!

[Darth2a]

This is a nice condition lanyard I acquired recently. I don't know the specific grades on these (If someone has a link to a good reference for this and other lanyards that would be appreciated). It has "Graff Roth" on the cloth backer (I assume this is the manufacturer?), and it seems to have some honest wear on the cloth strip applied to the reverse. It is "cold to the touch", indicating the appropriate aluminum content in the roping.

Thoughts and identification of the grade would be much appreciated!

Hi

This is a nice original shooting lanyard and has the correct backing to the rear of the braiding.....originals had 14 loops and post war usually has more 20. This is how you can tell if they have used post war.

The grading is a grade 1 second pattern

nice with makers mark to the cloth

There is a very good book on the shooting lanyards with colour pictures and all the information needed....its called Bullseye
