1930's Nazi Badge
I found this metal detecting near an old POW site in the UK. It took a while but I finally identified it as a 1930's SA sports badge from the Nazi era in Germany. The SA were the forerunners of the SS and Hitler was a senior member. Later he believed they were organising a coup against him and murdered most of it's senior officers during the famous 'Night of the long knives'. The badge is made of Zinc and has a steel pin at the back but it has become detached. I still have it though. I'm advertising it for sale on here too but don't really know what value to put on it.
