Just made a post regarding fake tallies on the thread in the Kaiserliche Marine thread. Check it out. Best regards, JustinG

Anytime that you can't see the full length of a Mützenband or see the reverse side of a band, you need to walk away. There are several forgeries. This seller has a couple of real items but also has some fakes. There never was a Schlachtschiff Tirpitz or Schlachtschiff Bismarck. Scharnhorst...

From the photos shown, I believe this is a period base and tally, however, I am suspicious blue removable top of it being a period Tellermütze from WW1 or pre. This is just my opinion. For the price this seller is asking, I believe this is too high for a piece like this. IMHO. Comparing with...

There is also several in the Marine Ehremal in Laboe, Schleswig-Holstein. Here are some others. So we have Emden, Karlsruhe, Leipzig, Nürnberg, Königsberg, Köln. Best Regards, JustinG

Thanks for the heads up. Took a chance and purchased it. Thanks. Best Regards, JustinG

Could you explain why the "bunching" or "pursing" by the Reichs colors in the upper corner near the EK along the hoist end? Was this an over-stitching repair? Best Regards, JustinG

Really, there is another one that is available on ebay as well. https://www.ebay.com/itm/255832539390 Ha Ha Ha Ha. JustinG

" How am I supposed to fight if I can't see?...." "Use the Force Luke." HA Ha HA HA HA. :ROFLMAO:

So this would be a fleet sailor of enlisted rank (Matrosen, Mannschaften) who would wear this on their Tellermütze. Typically higher ranked individuals would wear schirmmützes. Now, Functionally speaking, the tails would likely be cut on board as they could get snagged. The sailor would...

Here is another version of the Unterseekreuzer=Flottille. Best Regards and thanks for looking, JustinG

Latitude, you are still my Southern Neighbor. Best regards from another ice box (Alaska) Best Regards JustinG

Very very nice. such crispness remains after over 100 years since being printed. Well done. A nice addition to any collection. A lovely boxer rebellion medal would go great with this grouping. Did you have an opportunity to bid or hear what the price was before the decision to auction it...

I wish to share another piece of interest: A consensus from others who have spent much more time in the naval mützenbänder collecting field, perhaps wartime but certainly early Weimar period. This is thought to be a commemorative piece, perhaps for a reunion or something along those lines...

This is a potential long term >5 years until, likely retirement. I am a bit uneasy as I have put forth a sizable nest egg in my US based Retirement accounts (Roth IRA, 401(k). I have about 10 years until I am eligible to use the "rule of 55" in the states. I have done well and have saved...

Hi, Entertaining a possible transfer in my company. Wondering if there is any advice from other members who made this decision. Anything that you wish you knew beforehand? Best Regards, JustinG

Another point I wanted to say is that this is a still very affordable collecting space. Surprisingly, many of the more expensive Mützenbänder will be from units that were only in existence for a shortened period of time or had a small cadre of personnel assigned. S.M.S Schamien is a great...

Ok, So Tellermütze for a specific ship is very difficult. As these can be combined and changed out. Several sellers will try to inflate the price they can get by putting a Tellermütze that has a more rare Mützenband. Ebay.de can still be a great spot to pick up pieces, although you would...

Just got a nice 1924 commemorative coin for the LZ127. Very nice condition

Here's another one I did: Prompts used: Please create an image: A Prussian Pickelhaube with gold spike and gold chinstrap. Insignia for the Pickelhaube: Prussian Eagle with the Order of the Black Eagle on front side of Pickelhaube. The Pickelhaube is being worn by a giant Pickle. The...

Greetings So I am starting to use ChatGPT. Ended up going for the paid plan. Really it isn't too unaffordable and your requests seem to get priority bandwith over the free application. So here are a few prompts I gave the ChatGPT. A Zeppelin Airship circling above a Belgian town at night...
