Luftwaffe Schutzenschnur, high grade!

[Bob Hritz]

I certainly appreciate the amount of hard work and diligence to conplets a collection of these shooting marksmanship lanyards. In over 40 years, i have never owned any of the higher (gold emblem) grades of the Luftwaffe lanyards.

I learned more from the article in International Medal Collector than I had learned in the previous 4 decades.

Congratulations, Gary!!!

Thanks for the praise gents! The article was fun to do. One day I will ID the other makers. And be on the look out for the first patten! Damn hard to find...

Nick, just read your article, very impressed! Great read with alot of info that covered the lanyards very well..wish I would have had this lanyard then, would have been a blast to have it in your article! I see you didn't show a grade 11. Colors are very bright on this one compared to the gold ones shown too. Interesting subject and fun item to collect! Kevin.

Having sold all of my lanyards a while back the only thing I have left is this.
