Hi Ron,

IMO a nice metal threaded cap tally.

There are 4 halb flotille in the fleet, I have 1 & 2 already but this appears uncut and unused even.

Nice piece mate

Ron,

That's a nice wire tally. It would fit, just as the Graf Spee did

[JustinG]

Most do fit, it gets harder with a smaller size Tellermuetze. Personally, I wouldn't change the tally out on this IMO.

A nice piece shown Ron.

My longest tally spelled out I believe (just off the top of my head)

I see you are using paperclips. May I warn you and say that these can perforate the material, create a weakness to the material and cause it to eventually break.
My suggestion to store tallies is to not have any severe bends. Loosely folded or my favorite way, in 35mm film canisters.
Also the metal in the paperclip can possibly react to the thread used by the tally and further the oxidation process causing your tally to become dingy and dull over time.

Hi,

Very nice tallies, but I agree with Justin about the paperclips use. Paperclips oxidates in few times and are very dangerous to the tallies. 35mm film canister are the best way to storage it fom me too.
