The Littlejohn book (Osprey Men at Arms series) Hitler's SA is still available under $20.00. It's a good overall reference but it doesn't go into the small changes and details. For the price, though, it's one you should pick up. The only other non period book would be the Angolia book 'Cloth Insignia of the NSDAP and SA', which you can find here and there but it's rather pricey since it's been out of print for many years. I'm working on an SA book or books with several other collectors, but we're still researching the thousands of regulations and changes, so it's going to take a while before that is available.

I have already the Littlejohn book. It´s good for getting some basic information, but I want more details. I´ve just ordered the Angolia book from a dealer in the UK. Quite costly, but books always pay out.
I have a period "Handbook of the SA" from 1939, which has also some information, but also rather basic.Attached Files

I don't usually recommend the Halcomb book, as the history portion is riddled with errors, and the 'collectables' area really won't tell you very much. But there are a few photographs of items not pictured in the other books. I wouldn't pay big money for that one, though.
