Re: SA Gruppe Hochland 1939 badge authentication
After further research I still haven't come across any suggested reproductions, let alone any doubt towards other claims. I've compared my piece to as many photos I could find online, and I can't come up with any suspicious differences. Even the rainbow-ing patina seems right. Unless anyone could point something else out, I'm going to assume this is authentic. I've been trying to find information on the SA Wettkampfe events, but I have to yet to find anything conclusive. From what I understand, they were something along the lines of an annual sporting event for the SA, with different regions being represented with badges such as the one I have.
Any opinions, comments or information are greatly appreciated!

This looks like a nice quality genuine tinnie Interkosmos.
I would have it in my collection.
All the best

Re: SA Gruppe Hochland 1939 badge authentication
I greatly appreciate the feedback from you both! I really do love this design with both the edelweiss and the sword, and I'm starting to develop an interest in SA relics. I've been collecting militaria for a few years now, but accessibility has been a bit difficult for me. I hope to learn much from this forum! I'm really excited to dive head-first into the world of militaria.
I visited the shop I bought this tinnie at, and they actually had two others. One is in better condition integrity-wise though the patina has darkened a bit more than the one I post photos of up above, and the other has better color but is a bit dinged up on the back. I'm planning on selling 2 of the 3, so if you're interested feel free to contact me, Saladin. I'll be listing it in a couple of days, but you can have priority if you're interested.
Once again, thank you both.
