This is a black and white lithograph that has been removed from a book. It measures 12 1/4″ x 17 3/4.” It comes from an original work by Professor Willy Stower. Stower was perhaps the best-known of the WW I German naval artists. This work was done in August 1914, immediately after the declaration of war. It shows English troops landing in France.

This is a Kriegstagbuch (daily war book) for a squadron of Torpedoboots. The log covers the period of 13-27 May 1918 and 28-31 May. The commander (Kommodore) of the squadron was Kapitän zur See Heinrich, for the period 13-27 May. For the period of 28-31 May, it was a Kapitän zur See Madlung. The document measures 13″ x 8 1/4.” It has thirteen pages. The log carries a day-by-day (and by hour, where necessary) account of the squadron’s activities. It was often spilt up into “half-flotillas.” At the end of the report, which is marked “Secret,” Madlung has signed his name in pencil. It is a very interesting report and great for research.

The Navy Land Plane Jastas of the Naval Air Service were relatively small and quite elite compared to the Navy Sea Plane arm. These squadrons, which flew in Flanders alongside Army Jastas, produced some of the best fighter pilots of the war. These men were often among those with the highest scores of planes shot down. This militärpaß was to an enlisted man who served in one of these jastas, most likely as a ground crewman. This man first entered the Navy in June 1917 and was initially assigned to II. Matrosen Division. He survived the war and entries from as late as 1920 appear in the militärpaß. It is a very difficult-to-find Militärpaß.

This is an unusual cap tally for an enlisted Kaiserliche Marine sailor. The S.M.S. Schleswig-Holstein was a battleship that was launched in 1908. She was the last of the older-style battleship, made just before Germany started began building the “Big Gun” battleships. She was a part of the five-ship Deutschland Class. As an older ship she was not a part of the front-line battleship squadron. She was relegated to a lesser role instead, although she did serve in the Battle of Jutland (Skagerrakschlacht). She survived WW I and the scrapping of German ships in the 1920’s. She saw some service in WW II, then was finally scrapped in 1947.
The black silk cap tally measures 49″ in length. “Reserve S.M.S. Schleswig=Holstein” is embossed in silver on the tally’s front. The tally is in excellent condition. This is the first time that we have offered a Reservist’s cap tally.
