Lanyards in Wear Thread

[Marc Garlasco]

Gents,

I am currently writing an article on Luftwaffe Lanyards and need photos of Lanyards in Wear! So I am asking you to post your photos here so we have a thread that shows all the great lanyards being worn and how they were worn. I will contact you by PM should anyone post one I want to use.

THANKS! Get a great thread going!

Special Thanks to Jos for looking out for me on several of these!

The one on the left is a private purchase - note the length. But who knows what is going on with the one on the right?

[Marc Garlasco]

On the left a rare shot of a Flak officer with a Narvik shield! On the right a pilot shot down in his He-111 over Normandy in 1944 while resupplying the troops.

Some nice clear shots of the shield!

I have only one...

Having had a look through my photo albums there are two more that show lanyards in wear. As they are in group photos here they are zoomed in...

I have only one...

The material in the lanyard in post 5 looks quite unusual - almost more like the material used for an army lanyard. Anyone else notice that?

[David Fettes]

Very shiny shiny, I was just looking at it and wondering myself.

Looks a bit like having silver and blue stripes .. ?

Very unusual indeed.., nice shot though !

Here is a zoomed-in view of the lanyard...

Thanks for the closeup! I would definately say that lanyard has a Luft shield but the outer lanyard over the core is Army. The rosette may even be army. Very, very cool.

Anyone else agree?

[Jos L C]

I don't agree, I would bet it is striped in different colors, blue and silver, no ?

It SHOULD be Jos, but look at it. Looks straight silver to me and the WEAVE even looks army. Maybe I need glasses but that is what I see. Look at all the other luft lanyards - they are so obviously two-toned while this one looks solid.

Great thread. Nothing to contribute unfortunately.

I mean it looks like there're 2 colors running from top to bottom along eachother, can't believe the long part is all silver and the top part luft.
