SA badge - Sachsen 25.3.1934

[bnz41]

I've got some more valuable information regarding the Sachsen tinnie and the occasion it was issued for.

Sunday, 24. /25. March 1934 - " Honour day sachs. SA" in Dresden with group marching-up of 125.000 to 150,000 SA-Männern and large tattoo. Röhm formulated the requirement of the SA " the will and idea carrier of the National Socialist German Revolution" to be. Hitler had already rejected Röhms conception for a militia army under its guidance.

There was also a magazine that was published on this event.

Thanks to Karin-Renate and laurens for providing me with this great info.

James...I have the same Stuttgart tinnie, but with solid back.

[wessel]

...sorry!

[wessel]

...reverse.

[bnz41]

Nice one!

Is this solid version molded, unlike the others wich seems to be stamped?

[mametz]

Unusual never saw these with a solid back before

never saw that either but i like it alot !!

[wessel]

Thks, guys. I'll try and take a better photo of the reverse once the rain stops!

[James Noble]

Just looking at the picture of the reverse it appears to me that the badge is a normal hollow struck badge that has been back filled, but better pictures will tell for sure.

[bnz41]

I've had the same thought too.

Maybe in order to replace a broken pin?

[wessel]

You might be right that it is a fill-in, as the workmanship is very rough!
Another photo.

So only Sachsen and Stuttgart to report?

Stuttgart

Here is a nice one, missing pin

[bnz41]

Too bad about the pin, but still without a doubt a nice badge.

I've framed some items and here's a pic I took of my Sachsen tinnie, along with my early "Bismarck" SA-dagger, gau stamped Ns for Niedersachsen.
Also in the frame is a early NSDAP membership badge produced by Gottlieb Friedrich Keck & Sohn(Pforzheim) and an early NSDAP cap eagle.

Unforunatly the Blood order is only a spacefiller.....at the moment.

So based on the lack of replies to this question, is it safe to assume that these are the only cities found on these badges

Thx, Lance
