Agree. A nice respectable lanyard. It s got a story behind it. Not some NIB piece taken from a store room by a GI looking for booty
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Hi Scott,
Nice addition and I feel that every TR collection should have at least one.
This one is the early shield and I believe they are made from zinc. You are also correct that the earlier ones did not have the backing strip. This thread shows some of my examples, (have added a couple since the last photo was taken), as well as Wim has posted quite a bit of original literature regarding regulations as well as grades and construction.
Congrats!
Ralph.

Wilhelm, that information tells us all we need to know about these doesn't it, ranks and all... Thanks for posting it again to this thread!
I've assumed the updated version to the shield I have was made in zinc, as they often seem to have lost their finish and have that dirty metal look to them I tend to associate with zinc. It's interesting to note I have been incorrect about that assumption.
In any case, these lanyards are even more impressive in person, and I echo Ralph's sentiments that everyone should have least one in their collection.

The altsilber look: a sort of paintlike material was covered over the badge and then rubbed off,
to give it the old look. In German: Die Vertiefungen des geprägten Abzeichens werden eingefärbt
und abgewischt. This procedure one did with for example Neusilber, aluminum or nickled goods
(statement from the Overhoff-concern in the 1970's).
The shield hardly could have been made from zinc, which was used wartime, as the shield-form already
was out of its use in 1938 or so.

Thanks for the info. I learn more here everyday.
On the zinc, what I meant was I was under the impression the replacement style for the lower ranks with swords and oak leaves was zinc based. It doesn't read like that though, so I guess I've been looking at those wrongly and need adjust my perceptions of them.

I do have an Assmann cataloque where, with hand, to many items it was written the material
to be zinc. But not with the symbols for the lanyards. I have no proof so!
-
You may be correct Scott, that the early ones were made from aluminum, I just remembered that I have a later one that is suffering from zinc pest. Second from the left.
Ralph.
