I just purchased this item and I can't find any book or website which references it. Does anyone know when it was issued?

Hi, sorry this one has been mis-identified.
The raute worn by former members of the SA who transfered directly to the SS was an SA rune (like that found on the grip of SA daggers) on the black diamond.
What you have here is the raute worn by NSDAP Amswalter officials. Original of course. One for sale here:
The Collector's Guild
Cheers, Ade.
Had good advice? Saved money? Why not become a Gold Club Member, just hit the green "Join WRF Club" tab at the top of the page and help support the forum!
Thanks, Ade. I'm a little disappointed that it isn't SS, but it is still nice. I guess even the most respected dealers can be wrong in identification every now and then, but it's still original so I'm happy. I just found a picture of NSDAP official wearing this exact diamond which will go nice with my display.
