Early SS/SA Cap Eagle?

**Chopperman** · 07-18-2014, 02:41 PM

Hi,
Can someone identify this little eagle for me?
It was a vet bring back from ww2.

It measures 27.5 mm tall by 37 mm wide. I'm not sure
what it is made of. Whatever it is is very light weight
and has a yellow cast to it.

I appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks guys.
It does have kind of a SA look to it.

Greg,
I have moved and retitled your thread to an area where it should receive the traffic that it deserves.
If you would like anything different, let me know.

Ralph.

These eagles were worn by the NSDAP, SA and SS. It was replaced in 1934 with a new pattern and once again in 1936.

The Wim Saris books have the best analysis of the origins, character and fate of this badge, the so called Hakenkreuzkokarde, that I have seen.
