Gold SA Sports Badge Armband

[Jimmy]

Is this Gold SA Sports Badge Armband real.

[luftwaffe blue]

Yes, but it is not a sports armband but an SA Wehrmannschaft armband, Sean

I agree with luftwaffe blue. Also please note that the SA Sport Badge symbolized on this brassard was the Bronze grade, not the Gold. These armbands were worn by trainees for military service and by those ineligible for that service (previously wounded, etc.) and they were worn with civilian clothing. SA members in teaching/training positions wore their standard SA Traditions Brown Shirts or the newer issued tunics; they didn't wear this armband.
