yes Carl, they are an easy collectible and hangable as you mentioned, hey when are we going to see yours shown here ? yes the digital thing I know it well, and what time really to get ours rolling .........

anyway for the first one, this talley actually replaced in time the Marineschule Friedsrichsort by order of M.L.A. on January 1, 1938 as the first battalion, the 2. battalion replaced I believe the Murwik Schule or Marienschule Kiel.

At the time in the 1930's there were two naval stations : North and Ost (East). The second talley depicts a regimental sized ship cadre division consisting of 2 battalions (Abteilungs) and each battalion was given a cap talley with desigantion and location, in this case the 2. ship cadre-battalion-East or Baltic Sea.

On November 1, 1938 the mobilization order was given for all cap tallies, and there were many, to be removed and then replaced by the official "Kriegsmarine" talley, though it was deemed by order to do so many of the NCO prep schulen and other almost independent units continued to wear their traditions in style throughout the war ...........

interesting eh ?
