Imperial Tallies of JustinG

[2dresq]

Greetings,
I have been starting to collect the imperial tallies of the many ships that took place during the battle of Jutland.  I wanted to share the ones I currently have.

These are currently on their way to me as of this time.  I have photo edited them to save space.   Thanks for looking.

Here are some others.

What is the difference between the gold and the silver bands?

[2dresq]

Hi Don,

Good question about the color of the bands. 

Gold Script: Seemännisches  (Deck Related personnel)

Silver Script: Schiffstechnisches Technical (engineering) Administrative

Red Script: Schiffsjungen (Cadets)

Metal thread was used.  Cotton thread was introduced in early 1917 so Yellow Cotton for gold and white cotton for silver. 

 

S.M.S. is Seiner Majestäts Schiff      (German for His Majesty ship)  

K.u.K.  (Austrian)  Kaiserliche und Königliche 

 

There is a quick breakdown of some important tally information.

[Ian]

A great explanation. Thank you.

[dond]

Thanks for the explanation.

[2dresq]

Just picked up this lovely tally.  S.M.S. Moewe One of the successful Hilfskreuzer/ Raider for the first World War. 

 

 

[2dresq]

Count Von Luckner's notable ship.  Now there was also a Buzzard Class cruiser that also bore the name Seeadler from the later 19th century.  There is no real way to determine if it was issued/made for one ship vs another that had the name Seeadler.   I like to think it came from the Sailing ship.  

 

Best Regards

JustinG
