SA collectors--
I do not have my references at hand, but I do not recall ever seeing a "Donald duck" for the Marine-SA.
Anyone heard of/seen one before?:

“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
Would like to know where this Standarte 22 was located.
I cannot find it in official address-lists. Anybody?
I believe Luke nailed it.
Post 3: This is from the SA-book by Halcomb, as far as I remember. The letter-type is the
same as used in the Halcomb-book. The Angolia-book has another lettertype, as usually in
use with Bender books. I did verify the photo from post 3 with page 217 and it is without
any doubt definitely from the Halcomb-book (and so NOT from the Angolia-book as noted
in post 5).
A close-up from the lower part is in volume 3 for "Headgear of Hitler's Germany".
When the garrison cap came into being - fall 1936 - the shown form was no longer worn!
It is very difficult to find photos of such caps and its wearing.
When on October 1933 the uniform and other things were announced, for the Marine-SA
only the visored cap was included. For those from a Marine-Jungsturm, not being a leader,
as well as at the so-called Wassersport-Schulen the blue "Donald Duck" was mentioned
with a black tally with golden indication to be worn by "students". Leaders did wear the
tally at the right lower arm. This all is included in order Ch. Nr. 1596/33 from October 16,
1933.
Thanks for the quick answers, all.
Interesting to see a later RZM tag instead of the earlier (white) one with this hat.
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
The brown one was used since 1936, isn't? Making this cap
a late version.
A quick check resulted in no photo found of a Marine-Standarte guy,
wearing the naval cap with proper indication.
But a friend of mine has a group-photo from Seesportschule Seemoos
where all do wear such cap. The tally is obviously in lighter blue and
the letters in greyish Gothic. The black tally with gold disappeared with
the March 1934 dress-regulation.
Due to the wearing of these naval caps by the schools, it is practically sure
that this cap also may have been worn by regular naval-SA when wearing
the so-called "Arbeitsanzug". No information was found this dress actually
and indeed was worn. This cap was not at all worn with the service-dress,
as with that the visored cap had to be worn!
