,,certainly not

hello mann
an idea what cap the badges is from?
nick

postal or railway would be the two that come to my mind

It's the general civil service eagle used by post, rail & forestry. Sometimes found with an RZM mark. One of the books (Halcolmb?) suggests it was used as SA for a few months in 1936 and then replaced.

,,perhaps this style.
cheers

Wasn't Halcolmb - it was Angolia's book on the cloth insignia of the SA & NSDAP.

thanks
