I recently bought some negatives of a vets reunion in Bavaria @1926-1931. Its an interesting lot as I've had all the photos developed (@120) and the medals the chaps are wearing include a number of classic "Weimar" mistakes.
However, also included in another lot i bought were a series of shots of police/vets/RAD/SA in family poses who included their Kyfserbund/Stahlhelm badges and Schlagter bund badges with their HKs.
This got me thinking...
Can anyone tell me exactly when the unofficial medals were banned? My guess is that there was a brief time period between 1934-1937 when these awards were allowed to be worn with an HK. According to Agers' Freikorps booklet the Schlagter badge continued to be issued until 1936 and I've seen Kyfserbund documents issued in 1935.
Can anyone tell me exactly when the various awards were banned by the NASDAP?
Thanks,

p.s. Rick some extra photos on the way via snailmail.
