Just finished this small project. Cheers, Larry

Hi Morten, Have you seen this list over at WAF. I am sure more can be added to it. http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=656969&highlight=Kriegsmarine+Cap+Tallies+list Cheers, Larry

Hi Morten, I don't have one in my collection, but I do have these two new additions. Sperrschule. Versuchsboot Nautilus. Cheers, Larry

Seeberufsfachschule Wesermünde tally and shield. Photo from WA forum. A scan from Angolia a & Schlicht's Die Kriegsmarine - Uniform & Traditions vol. 3. Cheers, Larry

Very nice photos Morten. See-Berufsfachschule cap tally. Do you have a clearer shot of his arm shield? Looks to be See-Berufsfachschule Essen-Menden but I am not sure. Cheers, Larry

Thanks Morten. I will be concentrating on my KM insignia and photograph collection in the future. My photo album collection, WW2 German vehicle collection and some of my portrait collection will be sold off. Have some nice tally photos to share as soon as they arrive. Cheers, Larry

Very nice photo Morten. I agree with Morten 100%. I too will quit buying when I reach 65. That is only two years away. Cheers, Larry

Hi Morten, Thanks very much. I am happy that you enjoyed my new photos. Cheers, Larry

Three additions to my collection. First: Panzerschiff Scharnhorst cap tally. Schlachtschiff Gneisenau cap tally. Artillerieschulboot Bremse cap tally. Cheers, Larry

Here is a colourisation of a SdKfz 10 towing an artillery gun. The photo is from an Inf. Rgt. 19 album in my collection. Cheers, Larry

I really like those Torpedo Mechanic portraits. Congrats on your new acquisition. Cheers, Larry

Another colourisation of a photo in my collection. Cheers, Larry

Very nice tally photo Morten. Unterseebootsflottille Hundius was in operation for only a year (1 October 1938 - December 1939). Cheers, Larry

Wonderful! Thank you very much for the time and effort you put into doing the translation. I have many questions regarding his service record but this is not the right thread to do that. I will probably transfer this to a new thread for discussion. Thanks once again, Larry

Very nice contributions guys. I have now received the rest of the small photo set of the person in this photo. To my delight it also came with two typewritten pages highlighting his long and very interesting career. A lot of research for me to do. Will post the photos first. Cheers, Larry His very interesting career. No name attached, only his Stammroll number. If anyone wants to have a go at decyphering any of the text I would be very grateful. Cheers, Larry

Thank you very much Morten. A very Merry Xmas to you and all other members of this great forum. Cheers, Larry

Great photos Morten and fitzceraldo. The data base of cap tallies is growing bigger each week. I won a small photo lot at auction of a young man who originally served on the Torpedoboot Leopard. The photos are still in the mail but I thought I would post a preview of one of the photos. I will post scans of the rest when they arrive. Cheers, Larry

Very nice photos, thanks for posting them. Cheers, Larry

Kreuzer Königsberg portrait. Cheers, Larry

Very nice photos Morten and Oldulf. Here is a Aviso Grille portrait. Cheers, Larry Kreuzer Blücher portrait.

Colourisation of a photo I posted in another thread. Cheers, Larry

Latest addition to my collection. An Oberfeldwebel with what looks like Obermechaniker cyphers on his shoulder straps. Medal bar L- R: Hindenberg Cross for Non-combatants, Silesian Eagle II Class Medal, 8 Year Long Service Award, 4 Year Long Service Award. DRL badge under medal bar and finally Silesian Eagle Ist Class Medal at bottom. Cheers, Larry

Hi, I can not find any mention of MN together with the Nachschub or any other tactical symbol. M on its own usually means Munitions or Marine (not applicable in your photo). N usually means Nachrichten (I think also not applicable in your photo) or in some cases Nachschub. I think your photo is early war or earlier. All are wearing branch soutaches on their caps. Wearing of soutaches was banned from mid-1942 and while it was worn contrary to regulations throughout the war it's highly unlikely all the men in the photo would be wearing them at the same time. Cheers, Larry
