    There was only one numbered flotilla ribbon "1. Unterseebootsflotille 1.", plus the six named flotillas so only seven in all. In my experience Emsmann, Wegener and Lohs are the hardest to find/

    None of the U-Boat ribbons is common, and Euro 151 is a very good price for the Salzwedel ribbon you got.

    During the war, the Matrosenm?tze was rarely if ever worn at sea, but before the war, theses caps were actually worn on duty on submarines, not just on shore, so they sometimes would cut the long "tails" on the ribbons to stop them becoming tangled in any of the many pipes, valves etc inside the submarine, so a Matrosenm?tze like this with no "tails" on the ribbon can be quite accurate.

    Very nice cap and ribbon anyway. !
