Nice, I know nothing about the cap tallies, except that this one is regarded as quite rare, so I would try for a KM specialist
collector well versed on what to look for with the reproductions vs the real thing.

I found these 2 photos on the internet, which stated that this was a good original...

Cheers

Cheers！thanks for your sharing！
Unfortunately, I'm not an expert…i think this ribbon is original but i can't prove it，I don't have any photos or information about the cap owner for reference.I’ve only seen it sold separately once or twice without cap，In any case, it is the Museum-level rarity！！
Welcome a real expert to refute me freely！

Cap is a private purchase version rather than regular KM issue but looks good. The tally ribbon however I would be wary of. If you look at the original example posted by Bob you can see that between the letters z and e in Kreuzer, there is a distinct cap whereas on your tally they seem to be touching or nearly touching. Every original example of the Prinz Eugen tally I have seen shows the same sort of gap as seen on the example Bob posted.

Thank you again，you let me know lot！
I have lost sight of this detial，the interval between "z" and "e" is very small，have the gothic letters on ribbon at the same interval？（same ship name on same period）

Here is a repro ribbon for sale from a dealer in repros. You can see the closeness of the z and e .

On other genuine ribbons for Kreuzer there is the same bigger gap between z and e as on the genuine Kreuzer Prinz Eugen
