WW2 Early HM Destroyer Royal Navy Ratings Cap Tally
An original embroidered gold thread on black silk ribbon, with swallow tail ends and circa 35 inches ( 68cm ) in length. These "anonymous" cap tallies were intended to ensure that the enemy could not work out which warship was where. Note the full stops.
The tiny white spot in the photo is not a mark on the tally, it was a spec of thread which brushed off.
