Bavarian SA ... a woodwork find

[Chris Boonzaier]

I have had the wifes grandfathers German navy items for decades... then yesterday, her uncle was cleaning out the attic and found these... in a box since the 1930s.... as a young student in the late 20s her grandfather joined the Stahlhelm, then in the 30s transfered to the Sa, then later the NSKK.

 

Not having any SA references it took some time... but this seems to be the Sahlhelmbund as worn on the sleeve for a short while after transfering to the SA, then the collar badges for the Staff of the brigade 79 in Wurzburg, where he was a medical student.

 

I like the bavarian colors in the shoulder boards 🙂

Chris,

 

I congratulate your wife's family for keeping these items over all these years (even if in a box in the attic.).  And now, they reside with as member of the family who can appreciate them for their historical significance.   Nice to see.
