Newest tallies to soon be added

[Norm F]

Hi Justin,
Check this out:

There were two Marineflugabwehrschulen - the original in Swinemünde and a second one formed in France in September 1941.
There's something about the "feel" of your photos and the architecture that makes me think Swinemünde, but it's not really based on anything tangible.
Interesting that they could still wear a named tally rather than "Kriegsmarine" -- I guess since a school designation was not a sensitive area.
Best regards,
---Norm

I wish I had more information. This was obtained from a seller who only had these items. Never gave any other story. Unfortunately this sailor's treasures are not to be identified. They will be added to this collector and I shall not forget this sailor's and others who served.

That is our duty as collectors of items is to also collect the memories.

Thanks for the link. Much appreciated Norm!

Regards,
JustinG

TB Jaguar, Horst Wessel

These are some others I am adding. This will complete the torpedoboot fleet.
The Horst Wessel is a ship I really just had to have; as a former member of the USCG. I had to have this one since she is still in service today as the USCGC Eagle.

Nice work Justin,

Collection is really coming along and superb entries with the unterseeboot Muetzenbaender!!

Unfortunately I'm still out of action BUT your collection is becoming complete now, you'll have to focus on a uniform and presenting the Matrose in period with respective tallies!!

I will look forward to making my matrose an unterseeboot soldat one day!!!

Yep, nice work Justin. Nice to see so many unterseeboote in one place

The Search for the Unterseebootsflottille Emsmann

Greetings and Thanks for the comments.

I should be adding the Hundius and Lohs pretty soon.

I still am waiting for the Emsmann. Haven't been able to find an example yet.

If anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.

Regards,

There is my next mission to get a Colani and let my uniform be presented similar to the above pic!!

[JustinG]

I have gotten word from a higher power that I am not to collect any uniforms. My spouse says that my KM tallies are enough. I might be able to talk her into a nice hat but that would be it. Although, I am trying to convince her. KM uniforms aren't too bad in the price range.
Would like to see what your project will be JustinC.

Best,
JustinG

My Unterseebootsflottille tallies Hundius Lohs.

Just wanted to share my newest tallies.

I am just missing the Unterseebootsflottille Emsmann.

If anyone has one, I would really appreciate the opportunity to purchase. Will compensate well.

Help me complete my collection.

Regards,
JustinG

Nice work dude

Man your other half is very understanding, surely all the $$ you've spent on the Tallies would also deserve a uniform...

If you come across a good colani with the Gold stripes for Obergefreiter please drop me a message!!

Once things pick up a little I'l be back in action, so always keep me eyes open for the right piece but I'm in no hurry atm...
