A 2. Modell - Wehrmacht Schützenschnur 1. Stufe (c.October 1938 – February 1941). Instituted June 29, 1936, the first pattern Wehrmacht Marksmen Lanyard (Wehrmacht eagle in front of a shield) was originally made in four grades to replace the previous sleeve stripes. Come October 17, 1938, the first pattern lanyard was replaced with the second pattern (the insignia differentiated depending on the unit) for grades five through eight. This lanyard is constructed out of a 13-braid silver-aluminum v-pattern cord, with a stamped aged silver second pattern Heer insignia (crossed swords in front of a shield, surrounded by an oak leaf wreath, below a Wehrmacht eagle) attached to the rosette. The reverse features a stitched-on field-gray wool piece to the back of the rosette and a pearl ribbed rayon to the back of the cord. Minor frays. It measures 16 inches long. A great looking lanyard.
