BACKGROUND: The SA, "Sturmabteilung" (Storm troops), were originally formed in August of 1921 as a protective guard unit for the political leaders of the fledgling NSDAP, "Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei" (National socialist German Worker’s party). As with the Nazi party, the SA was structured along para military lines. Most of its recruits were from the ranks of the various "Freikorps" groups of the day, composed mainly of disgruntled ex soldiers, and they were first utilized at a Nazi party meeting in Munich in November of 1921. SA collar tabs were worn on the brown shirt, service tunic and greatcoat, with the ranks of "SA Standartenführer" (roughly equivalent to a Colonel) and above displayed on both collars.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Black wool construction collar tabs with stamped gilt/alloy, triple oak leave cyphers with three acorns. The oak leave and acorn cyphers are nicely detailed and include veins , stems and stalks and cross hatching to the acorn caps. The collar tabs are trimmed in twisted gilt wire piping.
