    As a fan of all the Kriegsmarine divisions. The Uboat section is pretty nice.

    After all, it was the U-boats who almost brought Britian to her knees during the war.

    Most people with little to no real interest in history or militaria collecting, when I talk of my collection, always ask two questions: Do you have the Bismark or a U-boat tally?
    They see my Kreuzer Prinz Eugen, and think: What is that ship; you paid HOW MUCH FOR THAT PIECE OF SILK?

      hi justin

      of course always is interesting to own the u-boat tallies but for collectors as me who are beginning to collect km cap tallies and at first purchasing the most number of tallies it would be better find more tallies with such money destinated for only one u-boat tally...

      on the other hand im lucky to own my only saltzwedel flotille cap tally

      about bismarck cap tally,never existed i think,isn,t it?

        Correct, the Bismark and Tirpitz were commissioned after the war broke out and the naval decree preventing these ships from having a named tally.

        U-boat tallies are indeed expensive. I was just meaning, when I explain my collection to others, who have no real interest in history or collecting, these are the two areas of the Kriegsmarine, that people are generally aware of. (The Bismark and the Sub U-boats).

        Here is my most expensive tally. Quite rare:

          You're right that the U-boats were the most succesfull part of KM but those tincans.....

          Ok, not to be taken so seriously but must admit my favourites are the räum- and vorpostenboote, u-jagd, minesweepers etc. Boring maybe but still the backbone in a navy imo.

          Anyway, your U-boat tallies are still to die for, not to mention all the rest. Not jealous at all

            i own only one u boat cap tally,from 2th UNTERSEEBOOTSFLOTILLE SALTZWEDEL and that day i spent about 265 euros in purchasing....

            on the other hand,how many km cap tallies made in yellow thread you own in your collection....(i mean no gold wire tallies) ?

            those are so easy to find or same than gold wire tallies?

            yours....MARINESCHULE WESSERMUNDE will be the first....
            The yellow thread or cotton, only a few. Gold wire are the most common and cotton comes after that. Cotton are also the official tallies where gold wire can be a canteen souvenir.

            I'm sure that eg John Robinson can tell a lot more about this

              Let me try to clear this up a bit. "Gold wire", the metallic looking thread was the official thread until cotton, also called artificial silk, replaced it in late 1938 or so. So the cotton tallies are the rarest I guess.

              Cellon was a private purchase tally at all times.

              No tallies were sold in the canteens I believe except for sweetheart tallies of various colors. In other words where the issue or private purchase tally was black, the sweetheart tally was white, green, yellow, blue, etc, normally with white thread.

                    Extremely rare white Robert Ley, also full length. So this is what is called a "gala" tally by me but same idea.

                    The evidence shows these used by passengers and reference is made to sailors to wearing them from time to time--in other words, ship's crew. Not much photographic evidence of this, but some.

                    Mainly they were bought or given to passengers as souvenirs, but still quite rare tallies.

                    Bellow, famous ship St. Louis. Numerous styles exist for St. Louis, maybe 5 or 6 including the white tallies. The black may or may not have been worn by crew members.

                                Quite nice tallies.
                                I only have the W.Gustloff in my posession in black. I think the black has a sharp look personally. The white is pretty crisp looking. (A chance to use some good adjectives)
