2dresq Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 Funny how when you are looking for something for such a long time and then another one comes along. They are like hens teeth though. Much like the Prinz Eugen tallies. They are few and far between. Really interesting to see both a cotton and metal thread version of this ship. BTW. This is the last named ship that had a tally constructed, before the OKM issued orders to produce only Kriegsmarine tallies for security purposes.

2dresq Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 I appreciate you checking out my collection and the other fine examples posted here. One of my favorite aspects of collecting. Sometimes it seems like an underappreciated area of collecting. Best Regards, JustinG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dresq Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Well, I have three Prinz Eugen tallies. I picked up a lovely tellermütze recently. It doesn't have the national cockade or the eagle as this was a hat that was used during the war and also post war, from the crew that helped sail the Kriegsmarine Prinz Eugen to become the USS Prinz Eugen. Here is my Tellermütze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fafnesbane Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 That is a VERY nice and impressive collection, Justin!!! Many nice cap tallies shown here. Does anyone know where to find an original Kreuzer Prinz Eugen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dresq Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 Here is a really rare one. There is also an abbreviated version of this unit. Both are rare and aren't seen too often. I am happy to add it to my collection. Wehrerstatzinspektion Schleswig-Holstein. Thanks for looking. JustinG Some other rarity ones. This one is not out of focus. It is blue and was issued as blue. Although, most blue bands are HJ Marine related, this one is not. It too is extremely rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
