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!
Interesting M33 with Cloth liner
This helmet is currently up on eBay. I'm not interested in purchasing it, but I thought it was very peculiar. Has anyone seen an M33 helmet with a cloth
