mis-applied in period then i guess? Looks like it's always been there.
I got it from a 79-year old guy whose relative sent it home; ref'd in a '45 letter. The guy has no interest in nazi stuff, hence *extremely* unlikely he'd have attached the label. But ya never know!

thanx etn - both froim from the same early period I'm guessing: '34-1935 or so? by the way, this tab is littler than the usual sa I think - 2 1/4 x a little less than 1 1/2 and just slightly misshapen..

Tab
PS: If the tab is "Steel Green" as it appears, it could be several different units.
STEEL GREEN: Early 1933 (Oserrreich & Nordsee), Early 1934 (Nordsee), Late 1934 (Nordsee & Kurpfalz). This is why the Germans lost the war. They were too busy changing their insignias and uniforms instead of working on a battle plan.

This is an early HJ label where the color of the printing corresponded with the tariff amount paid to the RZM. The SA, PL, etc. all used this system until it was replaced with the letter coded labels. A logical hypothesis for this label attached to an SA tab would be that the maker ran out of correct blue SA tags, and substituted the HJ tag since the tariff amount would be the same.
ErichFestina lente!
