Early SA Wedding Photo

[Steve Campbell]

Just recieved this SA wedding photo. It's said to be an early picture. Does anyone have any information on when this may have been taken?

[Klaas B.]

Hello Steve. I would say 1928-1929.

Regards,
Klaas

Collar tabs were worn as early as 1925!but 28-29 sounds right.,huge roundel on that brassard no kepi colors,shoulderboard or eagle its an early one..Check out that early cross strap with buckle!Wish we could see the belt buckle.

Note also he has no collar piping, a variant chinstrap on his early kepi, breeches with belt loops and a tucked in shirt (not the typical later style with belt hooks, and narrower tie than the later types. He must have had his glasses off when he proposed, though.
No, I'm sure she had a nice personality.
Neat early photo!

Thanks for the info guys. Would the armband be a homemade affair or were these available at this point?

Nice photo!! I'm guessing it's a standard SA buckle, though possibly a WWI buckle.

[wewelsburg]

Probably homemade.
