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.
The SA-Feldjägerkorps (military police corps) & SA-Stabswachen (staff guard) belt buckle is a silver-coloured variant of the regular SA enlisted ranks buckle, similar in all aspects, except that it features a relief-incuse mobile swastika that's painted black. The black paint was commonly lost over time.
