This was issued to all NCO personnel, and was affixed to the "Donald Duck" style sailor cap. Originally the script on the cap tallies was stitched in a gilt wire, however due to the potential of discoloration from tarnishing, regulations changed on October 29, 1936, indicating that all were to be sewn in a golden yellow celleon thread, instead. Made of black rayon with a gold/yellow thread, this Cap Tally is a VERY NICE example. In used condition, it does feature some marks, wear, and stains, but is otherwise SUPERB! Akes for a FANTASTIC display!
