Greetings, Many of you might know that I am working on building my Imperial German Navy cap tallies/Mützenbänder. Well, I managed to pick up a nice Silver S.M.S. Regensburg on a nice period Tellermütze. Thanks for looking.

Greetings, Thought I would share some tallies for you. Also, let me get a chance to use the forum and features. Don't mind me I am having fun. :) Regards, JustinG

Thanks for looking at my collection. I wish to say that I am going to put up items from my collection and share them with you fine individuals. If you have an item that you would like to share or a question on a particular piece that is not in my collection, I humbly ask that you do not post it here. Please start a separate thread. Comments, if you have other questions or requests are appreciated. I am posting this because on several other sites, others have jumped in and posted their items or asked opinions about originality of an item like a Mützenband or a Schiffswappen. I thank you for looking at my collection. Greetings, Well, It is about time to share some of my collection. I recently acquired this grouping from another long time collector. I am grateful to him for giving me the opportunity to acquire this. This ship has a well chronicled history. A unit that operated very successfully despite being up against incredible odds. If you have never heard of this ship or it's exploits, there are several good books out there to check out. On the lifebouy, the words SMS Emden are written in Gray lettering. it is very faint and is difficult to photo but I assure you it says S.M.S Emden. Thanks, JustinG

Greetings, Well, I did deviate a bit. I purchased a large grouping of Mützenbänder from non-Jutland combatants and I thought I would start a thread showing our collections of S.M.S, K.u.K and imperial time Mützenbänder. I look forward to seeing what tallies you all have in your collections. Here we go:

Greetings fellow forum members: I am very pleased to say that after an extensive search, I was able to acquire a Zerstörer Anton Schmitt tally thus completing the full named Destroyer fleet for the 2nd World War. This is a huge accomplishment. This was the last produced tally before the Germans stopped production and ordered the "Kriegsmarine" version to be worn instead. The ship was sunk in the first battle of Narvik. These are heavily coveted by German collectors as well as Norwegian collectors. I am very happy this tally will be soon on its way to Alaska. Best Regards, JustinG

Greetings, Here are two more additions. I already have these but they were a pretty decent price. Couldn't pass them up. Thanks for looking. The pics are not mine, they were from the seller. I will take better shots when they arrive. Regards, JustinG
