Hi Nap!

These lanyards existed in nine different stages ("Stufen") and in gold.

Here they all as worn by the Luftwaffe...:




All variants are possible - choose one!


Cheers

Cheers James old chap

Here's a "THE Book" on the subject of the Marksman lanyards

Flipping Heck mate!...That really is "de book" on the subject, I didn't know there was such an in depth range for these WW11 German awards, (not like our lot with just a pair of brass crossed rifles on the sleeve,) I reckon the added lanyard really balances the figure out now
Cheers

Very nice update Nap, I bet Carole was pleased with her effort. I hope she had a cuppa as well as a spare biscuit that you saved.
This is looking very good and as Jimbo said the lanyard balances the whole thing.

Hi Chris

Thanks for posting , I am pleased with the ribbons as always they look better when not in iffyvision !!!

Now completed the Para Badge and the Ground Combat badge ( you saw just a quick base wash as were the others !!!)

Will finish the Sports and Wound awards off and post a picture !!

After that will probably be the Marksman lanyard then the cuff titles

Happy benchtime

One thing I did notice (if you don't mind me mentioning it) is that the thin black stripe down the centre of the Eastern Front 1941-42 ribbon is missing......
Apart from that, the ribbon bar looks excellent!
