As it seems we are of about the same age, gents, but I have no intention to stop collecting at 65....
Publishing a such book is not an easy task. Take for example the excellent book about German tallies 1815-1918, by Bernd Wedeking and Markus Bodeux, that's a life time job, a vocation! Perhaps a job for when we are retired. But I'll support every realistic initiative comng about.
Cheers!

Like his British counterparts, the German sailor was a Jack of all trades.
Here we see a naval black smith's workshop of the Heavy Artillery in Flanders, in 1916.
The cap tally SCHWERE-KORPSARTILLERIE (introduced 15-05-1915) is visible.
The woorden shield reads "Kriegsjahr 1914.15.16 // Schmiede // Schweren Korps Artillerie"
Later, two Naval Corps Heavy Artillery Regiments were formed, below a tally of the 1st Regiment (total length of the text = 42 cm!). Perhaps of interest to know that the Original owner of this tally served subsequently in the Marine-Artillerie of the Reichsmarine and the Kriegsmarine.

Torpedo & Mine Service
Men of the Torpedo-Abteilung en Minenwesen dressed as seamen were issued cap tallies with gilt letters, but per A.C.O. of 12 April 1887 it was also ordered that they would be recognized by a red piping around the top of their hat and around their collar tabs.
The P.O.s Torpedomaat and Torpedo-Obermaat are to be recognized by white metal buttons, a red piping and a cap tally with silver letters.
On the white cap cover no coloured piping is worn.
A nice hand coloured photo showing a seaman of the Torpedo Branch, wearing the cap tally TORPEDOBOOTS - HALBFLOTTILLE.

Interesting photo Larry. I think the KzS inspecting, is Hermann von Bredow, he was Kdr of the 5. SStA from 1 Jan. until 11 Apr 1939, and before (from 20 Aug 1937) Kdr of the I. Marine-Ergänzungs-Abteilung (also in Eckernforde). Von Bredow was promoted Konteradmiral (1.11.42) and commanding Coastal Forces (Kdt. Seeverteidigung) in Northern Norway.

Thanks
I also think the first ribbon is the Star of Ethiopia.
The first ribbonl I do not think it could be the order of thousand Hills.
Iff I'm not wrong, the Order was instituted some time between 1982 and 1985) and this ribbon is on a uniforme that dates between 1939 ans 1953. But there also medals from the WW I. So It can be offered at this offer before 1939.
The second France, Order of Agricultural Merit, Commander on a military uniform off a pilot ?
Is this possible ?
The French Order of Agricultural Merit on a military uniform? Yes, I have a portrait of a British Major, also wearing this decoration. Presumably, a Reservist.

Not necessarily French. The Fleur-de-Lis symbol was, in particular during the romantic period (2nd half 19th century) but ever since much used as a fashionable ornament. I see no military connection here.
