WW2 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.

The tiny white spot in the photo is not a mark on the tally, it was a spec of thread which brushed off.
