1st Pattern Shooting Lanyard - Droop Tail Eagle

[stgeorge64]

I am interested in purchasing this 1st Pattern Shooting Lanyard with the early 'droop tail' eagle and with the full permission of the seller, I would like to solicit some opinions here as these are not my area of speciality.

Any help whatsoever will be very well received indeed.

Regards Richard.

Hi,

This is a nice rare early lanyard. I have only seen 3 and they are always in grade 1. Another nice thing to look for is the use of the lighter blue thread on the reverse of the rosette. All 3 examples I have seen use that same color thread.

Look in the International Military Collector for an example.
