It certainly is a nice picture! The man in the center has the rank of Sturmf******252;hrer (Lieutenant), The man at the left with moustache one up, Obersturmf******252;hrer, and the right person is an Obertruppf******252;hrer (NCO)

The rings on the sleeve came instead of the 'Alte Kampfer' chevron, and stands for the year of introduction. One broad and two small means that he joined the SA in 1928.

Can you see what's on the the other side patches? Looks like SW, wich would stand for Group Staff Gruppe S******252;dwest, but I'm not sure.

Hi, these stripes are "Ärmelstreifen für altgediente SA-Männer", long service in the SA if you prefear. This man came in the SA in 1931 after 1 january and before december 31 or Stahlhelm after july1, before december 31 1930.

They're from a Gebirgsjägerstandarte. SA Gruppe Südmark and Alpenland had several. If you can read the numbers behind it, I can locate the place maybe.

One broad and two small stands for 1928 introduction, further does old fighters who came out of the Stahlhelm black bordered cuff rings.
