Canadian Army Green Pistol Lanyard

The Canadian Army Green Pistol Lanyard is a standard-issue military accessory designed to secure a sidearm to the wearer’s uniform or equipment. This lanyard is typically constructed from durable, tightly woven cotton or synthetic cord in an olive drab green commonly used by the Canadian military during the mid-20th century. One end features a metal clip or loop for attachment to a pistol, such as the Browning Hi-Power or Enfield revolver, while the opposite end forms a loop or fitting for attachment around the wearer’s belt or shoulder strap. The design allows for unrestricted movement of the pistol while reducing the risk of accidental loss during field operations. Lanyards of this type were issued to military police, officers, and other personnel required to carry sidearms. This item represents a standard component of Canadian Army field equipment and reflects practical considerations in military sidearm retention practices.
