Seymour,
This is the German Armed Forces Marksmanship Proficiency Badge (Post WW2) for the Bundeswehr. Also known as the Shutzenschnur. It is awarded in 3 classes Bronze, Silver and Gold.
BUT what is puzzling is the color of the cord. Normally for all three classes the cord is silver in color but this looks to be more of a blue color, which I am not familiar with.
The cord looks almost like a US Army Infantryman's blue cord but is too dark.. Someone may have replaced the silver cord for some reason.. There are some members here who have served in the Bundeswehr who may be able to shed some more light on this..
It is an oddity to me.
When I was in the US Army I qualified with the German weapons at Wildflecken, FRG and I was awarded the Bronze Shutzenschnur which this one appears to be...

Thanks for the information. Really appreciate that! Interesting that it’s a different lanyard.
