    Hello,

    I am hoping to get some opinions on this SS ID disk. I like the font of the lettering but don’t trust my own opinion, as I have

    Erkennungsmarken

    Gentleman,
    Don't have a clue about this one. I think the last part is the 9th Army but not sure.
    Hope someone can help out.

    I received some US (?) items and cannot assign them.

  • Designer of the SA symbol known

    This is what the "Uniformen-Markt" from May 1, 1936 says on page 86:
    (published also in the magazine "Der SA-Mann", number 15 from 1936):
    the SA symbol originated from a 1929-contest, which was lauched by the
    SA High-Command. The design was handed over by Hans Zöberlein (the
    well-known poet) and the leader from Sturmbann II from Standarte "List"
    from Munich, Obersturmbannführer Max Zankl.

    The symbol was the old Teutonic sign for lightning together with the so-called
    "Mannrune" (the symbol of a stern and unbending man with a flaming sword).
    Both symbols were combined with a ring. Later the hook to connect both was
    added.

    Maybe it was Heck who added the hook, but this is not mentioned!
