S.M.S. Stuttgart and S.M.S. Pommern

I found a solution. I had this rather deep set case. Here is what I am doing going forward. Thanks for such a great idea. I admit, the Guard plates are going to be an incredibly difficult way to mount. Best Regards, JustinG

Nathan Jellicoe does a great job in this presentation. Best Regards, JustinGThe Battle of Jutland

Greetings, I am looking at how members store their wappen/helmet plates? I would love to mount in a frame if possible. Mainly, I am here to be inspired by how other members display their wappen/helmet plates. Currently, this is how I am displaying them... Thanks for your inspiration.

Another topic worthy of it's own thread. But hopefully, back to the thread regarding missed opportunities and or buyers/sellers regret. :)

If you compare and look at a collection as merely from a valuation point, you are in my mind no longer a collector but a speculator. To own something to hope that it increases exponentially in the future is just that a speculation. I think that military collecting is much in common with...

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...

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
