Help with Marine cap tallies

[bonteront2]

Hi fellas:
here are three cap tallies that I need help identifyingfrom the top)
1) Lettering is Roman style (WW1?) and made with gold wire/thread. It
reads 'MARINENS FLYVEVABEN' . I don't think this is German, especially
the odd 'o' above the 'A' in the second word.
2) Lettering is Roman style and made with yellow/gold thread.
3) Lettering in old German script, made with gold wire/thread. Reads '2. Schiffsstammabteilung der Nordsee.2.' The width of this tally is 1 5/16"
which seems wider than standard.
Any ideas on identifying the age, authenticity, country of origin and
value would be most appreciated.

a little help

Hi!

Sorry Quex to disappoint you, but your reply is not completely right: "7 Minensuchgeschwader 7" is from the present German Navy. It has nothing to do with the "Kaiserliche Marine". Similar units of this time had titles (and cap tally inscriptions) f.e. "Minensuch = Division" or "Minensuch = Halbflottille". There was no cap tally with the word "Geschwader" at all in Imperial times, as far as I know.

Hi Daniel
the character of letters of the inscription are similar to the Imperial War Marine WWI....
but the cap tally is postwar
