Luftwaffe Marksman's lanyard without medal help please

[Rescue190]

I picked this up with a whistle lanyard and a couple of other items. I assume I named it correctly as Luftwaffe. I am assuming original but happy to stand corrected for a stupid purchase. I have not been able to figure out which level of award this would be with a metal type shell in pace of a acorn(s). All thoughts and opinions are appreciated.

You are correct. Luftwaffe.

Your guy would have been a flak gunner. Hence the shell.

Grade 1: A blue-grey silk cord, interwoven with aluminium threads and dark oxidized shield.

Grades 2-4: as above, with the addition of 1-3 dark oxidised acorns.

Grade 5: Cord with aluminium threads interwoven with blue-grey silk and bright aluminium shield.

Grades 6-8: as above, with the addition of 1-3 bright acorns.

Grade 9: Cord of blue-grey silk, interwoven with dark gold coloured thread and gold shield.

Grades 10-12: As above, with the addition of 1-3 gold acorns.

Cheers, Ade.
