Not SA, but the flag was from the Landesfeuerwehrverband (LFV) Oldenburg, region 1 Cloppenburg from about 1933.

Nice flag. It's actually from the Landes-Feuerwehr-Verband (LFV) Oldenburg, Cloppenburg Bezirk 1"...so territorial fire department association Oldenburg, Cloppenburg District 1. The LFV was essentially the Nazified fire department association before the fire department was placed under police administration.

Canadians were involved in the battle for the area so it makes sense this flag turned up in Canada.

That flag is a beauty and you don’t see a lot of them for sale.

I have seen also: L.F.V. Oldenburg Wesermarsch Bez. 1.
A photo from the patch is in my book about gotgets.
There do exist gorgets that do have the same symbol eagle within the star

I have seen four of them now through the years. They all were from northern Germany.
Were they used only there? One cannot find information about this.

I seem to recall that they have an
even rarer Oldenburg Police flag.
How about posting that flag too.
