Title: Lanyard Question
Post by: jcorl on June 13, 2014, 10:07:05 AM
Has anyone seen or purchased an HSc with an attached lanyard that looks to be period correct?

Yes, I have a French one with a triangular lanyard ring on the side.
Or are you talking about the actual lanyard itself?

These were often improvised items, like bread bag carriers or pieces of cord. When I was in the army, we had to make part of our equipment ourselves, using general military green semi-elastic cord. it was used to create lanyards for pistols, service knives, clothing, etc...

Yes,  I was making inquiry into the manufacture of the lanyard cord itself.   I did not know, if there was an official lanyard cord constructed for these guns.  The first Army variation had such small holes.  I see many lanyards being sold on line, but none are identified as being for the HSc.  Thank you for the reply.
