It looks like a Greeny Brown GS Lanyard for the Jack Knife to be worn on a Camo Combat Jacket.

I think it might be a standard pistol lanyard that somebody has plaited. Older than these two examples:
F5 - Lanyard. Pistol. Tri-Service. NSN 8465-99-961-9512 - Pattern No 18302B Single cord with loops at either end. Two Turks heads. Fixed loop 10 cm long. The other to be free running. Khaki. Length 89cm. Diameter 0.6cm. See also U2 A design that has been in use since the 1880s. Tim

I had one when serving and it was issued platted. The pistol lanyard was thicker as I had one of those as well...

More than 200 lanyards in my collection https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...p?albumid=2027
The pistol lanyards shown in post 4 were used by me in the 1970s to 1990s as was this plaited lanyard for a clasp knife. The lanyard shown in the opening post is more WW2 vintage and looking at the weave I think is made from a pistol lanyard. Tim

Yes, That looks more like the one I had! Not a G1098 item as I ordered them on spec after seeing one in use.... In the RAOC the Clasp Knife was a G1157 individual issue as was the Regimental Blue/Red Lanyard.

Re: Lanyard
Gents, I think this a modern item done up by a soldier using 550 cord. This was a not uncommon item used by soldiers I served with. While I was issued with the laynard in Post #4, the plaiting was simple to learn and troops would whip them up for their buddies.
