Panzer Lanyards

[Maximiliano]

Gary, your lanyard is out this post, you lanyard its other variation, and early war.


cheers.

Is this one post war as well?

Hcliff, yours is definitely post war. The shield may be original, the lanyard is 100% post war. The one posted by Gary is correct. Lanyards were not issued late war. They stopped being issued, I believe, in 1941. If the lanyard has more than 14-16 knots, it is not period to the TR.

Harry and Maximiliano,

What material are your lanyards made of? Metal?

Thank you Mr. Singer . These Panzer lanyards are rare to come by.
Had another but sold it a few years back . Would go with my Officer Panzer Wrap. Now switch every now and then.

You know what I say that my lanyard is correct?
I dont know about 16 15 20 etc... or metal or material in this.

Because this Lanyard is in my family since many many years!

This lanyard was of my great uncle (He lived in Dresden Germany, he was a Spanish) and he obtains this of his friend of all the life, a panzer member soldier.

100% period.


Some of you knew to all the manufacturers? They know the quantity about variations that there is? or alone they removed it of photos?

Recall this: there was not for an item a single manufacturer and in that times habe many differences, themselves they guide not so much by the photos.

Cheers!

The two Panzer lanyards with the many loops are not WWII Army lanyards - they match up exactly with East German lanyards in construction and length. Original badges are frequently attached to West German lanyards (closer in size to the WWII lanyards) and to East German lanyards. Unfortunately, an item in a family for many years does not automatically make it original to the period.

I had a friend who was once given a #25 Panzer Assault Badge by the German veteran who had earned it. The PAB was not an original. The German veteran was not trying to pull a scam by peddling a fake as an original; he was giving it away. But after a lot of questioning, my friend determined that the veteran had lost his original badge at the end of the war and replaced it with a copy around 1950. That was so long ago, and he equated it with an original badge, he had pretty much forgotten where he had gotten it from in the first place.

Tim, you are 100% correct!
