S.M.S. Wuerttemburg. Image of ship from wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS_W%C3%BCrttemberg_%281878%29#/media/File:SM_W%C3%BCrttemberg_NH_47889.jpg

I agree with that. The S.M.S. Luebeck is definitely a war time produced Mützenband. The dedication and script on the distal ends could be for any of the points you brought up. We'll never know for sure. Good speculation. Thank you for showing the reverse, this is a loomed piece as you can...

Well, I haven't seen too many where someone has printed their service date on a specific band. The Kaiserl. Marine band I would like to see the reverse. Yes, it does have a three masted ship on the band, however, I really don't think that this can be definitively stated as the Seeadler. The...

Those with namesakes like cities and such, used their coat of arms for the city, so Karlsruhe used the wappen of the city. These would be on the very bow or off on the port/starboard bow. If you ever get a chance to visit the Marine Ehrendenkmal in Laboe, there is some incredible wappen as...

Yes, Karlsruhe had a crest. I showed my example above in post number 7. It is a more common wappen and I have seen several come for sale over times. Just keep an eye out, I'll keep a look out for you as well. Best Regards, JustinG

One of the best documentaries on the Battle of Jutland. Nathan Jellicoe (Grandson of British Fleet Admiral John Jellicoe) Just an incredible job and unbiased coverage. The second is the last days of the High Seas Fleet. Again, narrated by Nathan Jellicoe, a great piece.

Gneisenau and Scharnhorst.

Several examples I have of the Friedrich der Große. Best Regards, JustinG

Kaiserliche Marine Mützenband. Regards, JustinG

The Marinekorps had their own bands and by researching including their own band. There are several units and divisions. Worthy of it's own topic deep dive. Yes, it is very interesting. Lots of cool history. Best Regards, JustinG

Occasionally, you can pick up pieces like. rivits and struts. They are grossly overpriced IMHO. There have also been cool awards constructed like table medals: the British made a table medal of Lz15 bringing down from aluminum used in the construction of the airship as recognition of their...

S.M.S. HELGOLAND

S.M.S. Bremen

Just my take/bit: I don't trust AI and their evaluation or historical context. For the price that is being asked, I would expect Mr. Weitze and his crew to have fetched more concrete data from say the BundesArchiv for this piece. Claims that were made in the description: If there were only...

Greetings, This is the last ships tally/Mützenband that I am missing from my East Asia Squadron. Would really like to complete this. Any insights, please notify me. Best Regards, JustinG
