    History


    The SA (Sturmabteilung, storm detachment) was established in 1921 as a paramilitary protection squad of the NSDAP. The members of the SA were tasked with protecting party leaders at political rallies and meetings from the paramilitary forces of the opposing political factions. The SA was first utilised on November 4, 1921 at a meeting held in Munich’s "Hofbräuhaus" beer hall. The organisation was banned after the failed putsch ...  in 1923 and was reactivated in February 1925.

    Next to the regular SA Leader Belt Buckle, another rarely encountered design is known to exist. It measures 48mm in diameter and can be encountered gold or silver coloured.

    The round buckle features the SA symbol on a plain domed centre, surrounded by a full oakleaf wreath made of three strands of leaves, and held together at the bottom by a ribbon. The reverse is unmarked.
