    1943 lanyard cord thickness

    Can anyone please let me know what the thickness and length of the 1943 lanyard cord? OK, I really don't need the length so much as the diameter. I made a lanyard out of para cord and thought it was a little thin and wanted to make another.

    I am still sticking with the McRosco #6 (150 lb test) for ocean fishing for the actual clip instead of trying to copy the 1943 metal clip.

    Perhaps I might break down and get an copy of the 1943 lanyard from WPG as they look pretty well made. But I have been studying some rope craft and like putting it to use.


    Regards,


    Tom

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.
