    Hi Ludwig.....yep, looks like a repro from what I've been told. Would've stood more chance being a full length piece (48-58 inch)

      Cap Tally

      Hello,
      The tally is bad. BTW, I have an identical example, it was purchased in the gift shop on board the HMS Belfast (London, England) in the early 1990's for about five pounds. It was a nice little token, but these were passed off as originals for some time. Incidently they no longer sell them.

      Regards,
      Jody

          This might be the fake Scharnhorst tally, not sure. The main way you can tell the difference is that the one sold in HMS Belfast was of Royal Navy length, in other words, the ends are not even as in the KM tallies. Often, the resellers cut the ends even to get rid of the evidence.

          The Belfast tally was 41 inches/103 cms long. This is an important clue to this tally being a fake.

          The best advice is to avoid all Scharnhorst tallies that are not cotton (very rare) or gold wire (more common but now also rare) and stay away from this type of reverse stitching material.

              To be 100% sure it would be better if you could see this tally pre cut vice cut with nice even ends. John

                      Thank you guy. I like a lot to see another KM tallyribons collector. Sometimes I think I´m alone.
                      Take a look to my collection.
                      Regards

                        Great collection GregorioTorres

                        A great collection. Are your tallies vertically displayed? I am working on a display for mine. I think I have a good way picked out. Always interested in how members find ways to affix their awards in their displays.
                        Tallies are easy, but others like pins and trade badgs can be difficult, especially if you are creating a collage of them.

                        Thanks

                        PS. I sent you a PM Gregorio.

                          Both really impressive collections, I've only got the Scharnhorst and the Deutschland but hoping to find the Admiral Scheer and the Gneisenau

                          How rare's the Graf Spee.

                            Two very nice collections of tallies.

                            Greg, I get the impression you prefer ship named tallies! Some very desirable and hard to tallies there!

                            The thing about tallies is that they make a nice display when framed.

                            Regards
                            Mike

                            Evaluate the item, not the story and not the seller's reputation!

                            If you PM/contact me without the courtesy of using your first name, please don't be offended if I politely ignore you!

                              KM Tallies

                              Hello 2dresq,
                              Very nice collection. I have just a couple of them-I wish I had more. You have some really great stuff there.

                              Greg you have some great ones too. I love the Gustloff tally.

                              Regards,
                              Jody

                                And Gustloff come is white also from my collection. Many of these handlesmarine tallies (merchant marine muetzenbander) come in numerous variations for the same ship. The white tallies were normally known as "gala" or "gift" tallies and given out as presents. John
