    Contemporary photo of Hans Winkelmann, 2. M.G.K., Reichswehr Regt. 16, dated 12.12.1920.

    He wears the SA 2nd class ribbon looped through his pocket button-hole and a typical issued blackened metal SA 1st class on his pocket.

    Nice to see more of your work!!

    The guy is a twin of a guy I used to work with!!

    Hi Chris, there's no reference to the post but if you are referring to my colourisation, thanks, as you know I try to get it right, if it's not about my post, then oops I will feel like a total idiot!!, If you worked with his twin, I assume he didn't arrive at work dressed like that :speechless1:

    regards

    The was no German white SA. Only the Polish had a white SA. It's probably a silvered or gilt version. They were made in different finishes beside black.

    Nice photo, but I think, that he only is Gefreiter.

    Kind regards
