The various types of marksmanship lanyards were proficiency badges of the German Army, Navy and Air Force.
The Waffen-SS, however, did not have one, and even SS soldiers who had qualified for a marksmanship lanyard during previous service with one of the Wehrmacht's branches were not allowed to wear it with their SS uniform.
In October of 1936 the leader of staff district 'Elbe ' wrote to the Chief of the SS Main Office asking if SS members returning from service in the armed forces were allowed to wear their marksman's lanyard. The reply was the lanyard could not be worn but the shooting badges of the Reichswehr awarded to members of the SS before June 1st 1935 could be worn on the left cuff of the service tunic.
A draft institution order of the Reichsführer-SS dated November 1937 described the 'Schützenabzeichen der SS-VT' to be awarded to other ranks for shooting proficiency with rifle, light and heavy MG. The badge was to be worn on the right pocket and awarded in 3 classes, 2nd Class (without oak leaves), 1st Class (with two oak leaves) and Sharpshooting Class (with 3 oak leaves)
