      Here's the history of the naval cap tally in the photo.

       

      Die Eiserne Flotille / Eiserne Torpedobootsflotille

      Rare cap tally. There are a few different variations of this tally that existed both in navy-blue and black silk with silver lettering.

      -Eiserne Torpedobootsflotille
      -Eiserne Torpedoboots-Flotille
      -Eiserne Flotille

      Originally known as Die Freiwillige Nordsee-Torpedobootsflottille.

      Founded in Wilhelmshaven on February 20, 1919 under the Generalkommando des Garde-Korps (Garde-Kavallerie-Schützen-Division, Berlin) and attached to Freikorps Lettow-Vorbeck. It was disbanded on August 3, 1920.

      Commanded by Korvettenkapitän Rudolf Lahs (1880-1954) (later Reichsmarine Kontoradmiral, Vice-President of Deutschen Versuchsanstalt für Luftfahrt (DVL) and President of the Reichsverbandes der Deutschen Luftfahrt-Industrie (RDLI).

      Order of battle

      1. Eiserne Halbflottille

      2. Eiserne Halbflottille

      The Flotille were first stationed in Emden harbor in March, 1919 to prevent a communist uprising.

      The Flotille participated in the Hamburg uprising, June 1919 (known as Die Hamburger Sülzeunruhen).
      The Eiserne Flotille with 8 torpedo boats blocked the Elbe and the entrance to Hamburg and provided a link between Detachments Lebedur and Heug (Reichswehr Pionier_Batl. 9).

      It also supported the Kapp-Luttwitz Putsch in March 1920.

    3. Hello No one, thank you very much for the determination and the explanation of this order. It is silver.

       

      Is there a list of names of the recipients? I'm looking for a German from the period between 1966 and 1975.

       

      I appreciate your help very much.

       

      Kind regards
