WWII GERMAN GRADE ONE PANZER MARKSMEN'S LANYARD
Grade one Panzer personnels marksmens lanyard consists of a heavy, twisted, interwoven silver/aluminum braid with extended buttoning loops to both top and bottom ends. The braid has the addition of an interwoven silver/aluminum wire knot to both the top and bottom edges of the shield device and another interwoven silver/aluminum wire knot at the top edge of the bottom buttoning loop. The braiding has no protective strip on the back as found with early ones. The top of the lanyard has a zinc, stamped, alloy construction, vertically oval shield. The shield features an embossed, repeating zig-zag and bead pattern with a Wehrmacht style eagle with down swept wings positioned to the top center encompassing the cut-out, left forward profile of a "Panzer I". The shield is attached to an interwoven silver/aluminum braid rosette with a protective piece of grey material neatly handstitched to the reverse to prevent chafe wear to the uniform. Nice example. Scarce Panzer marksmens lanyard.
