Hi Fernando,

My pictures are not the best way to show it, but may be you can see the shadows/dots in another tallies I have:







These two are artificial silk but shadows/dots are similar to metalfaden ones:

In the obverse I can see 2 pieces of yellow thread but If tally is metalthread why has it so or is not metal thread,the rest when I touch appears metal thread even comparing with others I own.....

On the other hand may be we can see golden dots around H letter in word SCHULE,can you mark dots where you can see Ricardo

Hi Fernando,

Don't worry about yellow threads you see at your tally. All metalfaden tallies I have are made with a thin plane metal thread wraped around a yellow artificial silk thread. And is very common yellow thread surfaces at some points.

You can see yellow threads at various points in my SMS Schlesien tally, where metal thread was lost:






I marked your tally where I can see dots or shadows, seems to me it's a WWII tally.

It is a great explanation you gave me here and it is good hear from you than it is a kriegsmarine period tally and not an early bundesmarine,on the other hand what do you collect km cap tallies or more things?

All i could say was already said by Ricardo, i agree in every point. Looks like an early 1930s, official supplied tally. How long is it ? I guess about 118cm ?
If you slide with your fingertip over the letters, they are more "in" the ribbon then "on" the ribbon. Tallies with metal letters were not woven in this quality after WW2.

Hi Fernando,

I collect WWII stuff at all and some times WWI too. Cap tallies are only part of my collection.

My opinion: all are original, means pre-1945. Different conditions, different producers, but period and original (as is said before).
