Fullers book is full of fakes.

Fullers book is full of fakes.

Thanks for the heads-up. Is there any better reference book for SA insignia, especially SA collar tabs?

[Hochland IV]

I think that you will find that the picture was taken in the run up to the 1933 election..I have seen smaller versions of these banners, created by the party utilizing the old imperial colours with the addition of Ja! at the top and voting symbols at the bottom. The SA even had polling stations for their local units, manned and overseen exclusively by SA-manner..

You mean wearing a Blitz on his collar tab? Isn’t it a lyre?
Or do you mean he is wearing a Blitz on his left arm (like the guy on the right)?

You're right--it is a Lyra. Easy to see in the larger photos.

And it should be noted that there are a number of fake tabs in the Fuller book.

Is there an overview / listing, which tabs in the Fuller book are fakes?

[wilhelm Saris]

officially the use of the lyra was forbidden since 1933 or about (I must have the announcement),
but we all know there were musicians wearing them. But then practically always without numbers.
And yes, Fuller is full with mistakes. But he does not know better!

Here a better photo:
