Was told this was a photo of two armed SA men in Sanok, Poland. What are your thoughts?

Article about: Nice cap Bob. The cap is not a regular kepi, but a cap which was phrased as SA-Führer Lagermütze (a garrison cap for SA leaders). It is known such cap form was also worn by lower ranks.

    Thank you Wim. This photo shows the first example of a cloth eagle being worn on a kepi with Gruppe color. In the past, I have only seen the cloth eagle worn on the Gruppe Lagermutze.

    Hello Bob,

    I did write about this type of cap shortly in volume 3 for the headgear-series,
    published in 1998. It was told about its introduction and in which periodical it
    was stated.
    In the color section, at the end of the book, page 591 shows a nice cap from
    John Coy with the eagle upon a triangle and another one from Coy with just
    a cloth eagle!

    I put this photo with other's I've collected on my Flickr page without the watercropping. I included in the description that the two were SA in Sanok, Poland. Am I safe to say this? Here is my Flickr page:

    It apears to be an accurate statement. The only thing that can not be confirmed is the town but the description is likely correct.
