Thanks for the images of the rear of the tally.

It certainly isn't produced to the same standard as ones produced for the Royal Navy. I would say that this is a tally produced as a cheap souvenir for the launch of the battlecruiser HMS Tiger in 1913. Large crowds turned out for these launchings and they were often public holidays in the dockyard towns.

It's a shame it has been cut but it's still a nice piece of history.
