As a rule, if you have a Submarines tally with a full stop, it dates from before, during or after WW2. Gold wire with no full stop (dot) and it will date from the late 1950's up until about 1974, when materials that where used in the manufacture changed. So, here we go again.... the subject of Royal Navy Cap Ribbons is a complex subject, which I have studied for about four (4) decades now. I have made many posts to explain the complexity of the subject of the significance of the "dot" at the end of the the lettering of a tally and the periods concerned.

l11-velasco, you are more than welcome.

Very kind from you Sir
