The WW2 German SA Sports Badge #337175 is an original period military decoration issued by the Sturmabteilung (SA), the paramilitary organization of the Nazi Party. The SA Sports Badge was awarded to members of the SA, as well as to other qualified individuals, for fulfilling physical fitness requirements set by the organization. This particular badge features a bronze finish, characterized by an oak leaf wreath encompassing a Roman sword, superimposed by the SA monogram. The reverse is stamped with the issuance number 337175 and includes an attached pin for uniform wear.

This item reflects the emphasis placed on physical training in the SA and the broader paramilitary culture of the era.
