Greetings fellow collectors,
I'm creating a thread specifically for the discussion of the KM Schützenschnur.
Now after researching the award it is clear that this is a long standing shooting award for all arms of the German Forces since 1720.
Please refer to the wikipedia entry for more information

Ok now I would like to present a few different KM Lanyards for your observation and opinions. Please feel free to show any of your own examples and information you have about the award.
Ok construction is primarily made from wool and of course only in blue specifically for the Kriegsmarine. They also come in different levels of achievement which is represented with 1 acorn, 2 acorns or in the case of KunstenArtillerie an acorn with wings. There is also an example with a gold badge on the upper circle that KM-Spain has in his collection.
It is also said they were constructed in silk too or perhaps a synthetic?
I will show photo's of different lanyards I have and we can take the discussion from there.
1. - Wool - No Acorn
