WW2 Royal Navy 'H.M.S' Cap-tally.

Full-length WW2 ribbon with gold woven title 'H.M.S.' .At the start of World War 2, for security reasons sailors stopped wearing cap-tallies showing their ship's name. Tallies bearing HM Minesweeper and HM Destroyer were eventually replaced by a universal tally bearing only 'H.M.S.' This tally has been worn and has a small click in the embroidery on the 'M' otherwise very good condition.
