It looks like an SA Flag but not sure. Need your help.
Yes, it is an SA flag. Gorgeous by the way! As it is from Munich, that was the unofficial capital of National Socialism.
Thanks! It really is a great flag but it has been so hard to find out anything on it. It is interesting that it is an early flag with the position of the swastika. Thanks again and if you have anything direction to go for finding out more please let me know.
Let me go through a couple of reference books I have, Organisationbuch N.S.D.A.P. and Deutschland Erwache, and I'll get back to you.
Okay, this is what I have learned so far, by the way there is a great website called Historical Flags of our Ancestors. Search for The Historical flags of Germany part 3. Civil and political flags of the Third Reich. Your flag is likely a Type 2 SA Bodyguard Company with gold fringe. Type 1 has silver fringe. Munich is of course the Gau of this SA bodyguard Company When I find out more, I'll get back to you.
SA Flag
Here is a 1930's SA Flag (without fringe) from the Historical Flags of our Ancestors website. Great site by the way!!
Thanks for your help, it has been hard trying to find out what it is!
My pleasure! Half the fun of collecting is researching. History comes to life.
It's an SA flag. Munich was the unofficial capital as someone else mentioned, so that is for the Munich. However, I'm guessing the 34 means either like the 34th regiment/division(?) or 1934.
It is interesting to try to find out what the flag is. It is also interesting that the SA purge took place in 1934! Not sure how many regiments were in the SA in the early 1930s.
The flag is NSBO. Their patches are black and is named to
the actual Ortsgruppe ( Munich).
The number indicates it to be a Concern/company. Which the company stands for 34.
Who that company is reserved to, I do not know.
