Luftwaffe lanyard device ( metal eagle )

[silverfox]

Hi. This I bought together with some other things ! Is it original ? I think so ! But no expert in these ! And is it possibel to find the lanyard without the eagle so I can make it complete !? Or is it impossible to find one such ? Thanks in advance !! SF

I would say it is original but missing two of the prongs. If the remaining two are bent tightly, there is little chance of opening them and closing them again without breaking another one or both. I have posted a photo, the ones on the right with the blue and silver are what you should be looking for.

Looks OK.

Here is mine.

There were several makers of these, so details will vary slightly.

Cheers, Ade.

Hi. Thanks for the informations ! Nice laynards you got there ! very nice ! And now I know what to look for ! one question more: Did they made them post war in the same colour and materials as yours originals pre 45 ones !? If, any way to see and tell if they are made post or pre 45 ? So I don`t buy a post war one ! If I find one ? Thanks. SF

[Adrian Stevenson]

Postwar ones are different.

Hello,

Yes this appears to be an original Luft Schutzenschnur to me.
