S.A Standartenfuhrer set

[paulj]

I looked at this set quite a while ago. At the time I tried researching the Tuebingen tailor, as well as the "Keller" name and found nothing.

I figured the set may have been pieced together on various levels. I found the Tuebingen tailor a bit strange given the Edelweiss on the cap since that would place the unit in an entirely different SA Group. It's possible, of course, but one likes consistency with such things. As mentioned, the lack of service stripes for such a high rank is also strange.

S.A. Set

Well, that covers all the reasons why this will not sell.
Love the comment about the display- space. Had that problem too before I sold the whole lot

Hi Laurens, yep, the released me after 35 years of hard labour. (Will send you a PM )

So why doesn't someone email Pete Whammond and explain all this ? ... I did regarding an SS armband and he was fine about it and it was gone the next day.

SA Standartenlist

By the way, I still have a, 100 A4 page, list of ALL the SA standarten with their leaders and adresses, brigades etc.etc.etc. The list was made up during the war by the Secret Service to get a full profile of the SA Organisation.
The list ( it's a copy) was given to me by the late Ed Stadnicki.
Great document to use while researching SA schouderboards etc.etc.etc.
I'm willing to sell so of you are interested send me a PM.

Pity. I hope the new owner understands what they have purchased.

The lack of service stripes is definitely a concern but not the kiss of death. I have an Obergruppenfuhrer set without service stripes. It belonged to Gauleiter Dr. Alfred Meyer who received the rank without a doubt as a complimentary position due to his position.

I'm sure he does.
