Hey Justin! Havent had my eye on your tally collection for a while now as I have been occupied
Elsewhere but let me extend my congratulations on such a remarkable and amazingly rare set of KM tallies. The rarity of these tallies exceeds no others and your grit and determination not to mention your financial out lay is to be highy commended. As John mentions we may collect feveoursly for the next 20 years and never see some of these fine examples. Your collection will undoubtedly be of museum quality and hopefully one day your dream is realized. So from JC to JG - Herzlich Gluckwunsch Kamerade!

Kindest Regards,
JustinC

Thanks so much JustinC.

Now, I have to start working on a display.

I was just informed that the U=begleitschiff tallies listed in the upper portion were never produced so, that just leaves the Unterseebootstender Mosel being the last U-boot tally left.

Regards,
JustinG

Very nice Justin, very nice and congrats!!

Does this mean you're close to have every KM tally by now? Must be close as far as I remember. Certainly looking forward to see your display.

Hi JustinG,

since a long time I've got the chance to have a look on WAF again. What amazing tallies you have gathered together? My honest respect from the bottom of my heart! Since the UBoat-branch became such a scarce (and costly) area to collect, the tallies you have are a big achievement!

Head up, beside the "Unterseebootstender Mosel" you are still missing the "full" version "Unterseebootsbegleitschiff Erwin Wassner" and also the "full" version of Havel.
So still some to go for! And when you think you have these for sure some other, so far unknown will pop up - I promise you, it is a never ending story. Look at the Imperial UBoat tallies: for decades the collectors thought they have them all and then a (nearly) one-off U-Boots Halbflottille Konstantinopel popped up, which existed indeed.

Anyway, you are the closest of all of us to completion. Thanks for the pictures and sharing with us! Great to see!

I can support your secret informer that Kophamel, Wünsche and Bauer have never existed as tallies.

So far I have also seen Z Anton Schmitt only as cotton, which is rare enough.

Thanks for the complement Dani.
This has been a very interesting undertaking. I am scouring, trying to find some missing tallies to add to the collection. There are some rare ones still eluding me, however, I am extremely fortunate and grateful to have achieved such early successes in the field of muetzenbander collecting.
Good to know that there are some variations missing.
Thanks again.

Best regards and a happy holiday season.

Today I received the Vermessungsschiff Meteor tally in Metallfaden, unworn with a length of 150 cm. I would like to get opinions on this one from the more experienced collectors! The feel of the material and the whole construction looks good to me as well as the sizes of the tally and letters etc. I just have a feeling that the ss and ff at VermeSSungsschiFF Meteor look not 100% like they should....but that could also be paranoia because of the many fakes on Ebay (got this one from Ebay.de btw)

Thanks for opinions, good or bad
Marcel

Marcel,

Lovely tally mate, IMO 100% ok

Cheers
JustinC

[Frank K]

Well, is at work now so can't compare with my own but the reverse is textbook imo.

Besdes that if the tally is from Markus aka CSForrester I'll be very surprised if something is wrong. Just my 2 cent.

[Marcel Banziger]

Thanks Justin and Frank for the good news!! I'm glad it's ok, especially for such a low price

And now also the Kreuzer Leipzig in Metallfaden arrived. Thanks for this beauty Justin!!!
