Show us your K.u.K. Kriegsmarine cap tally photos

[Von Thronstahl]

One of my collecting obsession is definitely KuK Kriegsmarine. Especially cap tally or Mützenband   photos. I hope I am not alone here.  Show us what you got.

Here are few of mine:

 

Photos of same man wearing 2 different cap tallies. On the first photo he wears KuK Kriegsmarine tally and on the second photo S.M.Tb. 97F tally.  S.M.Tb. 97F was KuK torpedo boat, class TB 82F (1915-1916).

 

 

 

 

 

1.  2 sailor on river monitor  Bodrog wearing S.M.S. Bodrog tallies.  This boat, to some info, fired first shots in the WW1. 

2. S.M.S. Lussin tally

3. S.M.S. Bellona tally

The sinking of the SMS Viribus Unitis was a inexcusable felony .

Certainly an interesting piece of history. A couple of reads about the SMS Viribus Unitis(Jugoslavija): -

small addition to the topic of SMS Viribus Unitis -  Military Merit Cross 3rd Class with War Decoration and with particular dedication on the reverse (2nd from right). Obviously presented as a gift to unknown officer serving on SMS Viribus Unitis in 1914, probably closely after outbreak of the WWI.
