WW2 German SA 35/87 Collar Tab Single

The WW2 German SA 35/87 Collar Tab Single is an original insignia associated with the Sturmabteilung (SA), a paramilitary organization of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. This specific collar tab, designated as 35/87, indicates affiliation with a particular SA Standarte and Sturm within the organization, as denoted by the numbering system used during the period. The tab is constructed from a wool or felt base, typically in a brown or tan shade consistent with SA uniforms. White or silver thread is used for the embroidered numerals “35/87,” reflecting official patterns adopted during the late 1930s. The reverse usually features a buckram stiffener, reinforcing the shape when attached to the collar. Such insignia were issued to individual SA members to designate unit membership and rank structure, serving both organizational and identification purposes in the years preceding and during World War II. This item represents a typical example of German SA uniform insignia.
