Default Lanyard Project??

Just to make some sort of contribution to this post and whether or not a "Lanyard" project starts or not. There are 2:-
1) A Women's Transport Service lanyard from WWII - still attached to its uniform - but separated for this pic. The picture colour is extremely close to its "real-life" colour - the black background seemed to help.

2) A lanyard that was attached to a Parachute Regiment post WWII BD - however, its in very good condition, so I am not sure whether its correct for the period, or whether its actually representative of what they would have worn - only that it was fitted to the BD....

Anyway, here it is. Whether the colour comes out in the pic or not, its the "ever-faithful" lightish Khaki colour......

Rgds, David
