SOLD

RARE! Original German SA (Brown Shirts) Uniform Certified. Brown was to become the official color of the N.S.D.A.P. and S.A. by circumstance rather than design. A large stockpile of discounted, surplus WWI tropical brown shirts and fabric, intended for wear in East Africa, were located in Austria in 1924 and purchased by the Nazis as a temporary measure to bring uniformity of dress to their party members. In November of 1926 the brown shirt was officially introduced, and retained, as the basic uniform item for the N.S.D.A.P. and S.A., and was eventually adopted by other political organizations such as the H.J., D.A.F., and the N.S.K.K.  A Light tan cotton twill construction shirt with a five-button front closure. The shirt is an approximate size 42 and is made of light-brown, ribbed cotton/rayon material. The collar is piped with double-twist, cotton/rayon blue and white piping. The collar features a pair of tailor-applied enlisted tabs, with the chain-stitched numerals “27/2”. The right shoulder retains its original shoulder strap, while the left sleeve features its original multi-piece Party armband. The shirt is complete with its original retailer’s machine-woven tag, with the depiction of the sun with a swastika rising over the globe. It is complete with its original gilded buttons and belt ramps. There is some moderate scattered soiling from use, however it is free from holes or tears. A nice example of an early brown shirt. The overall condition is very good+  Nice example.  100% Guaranteed to be authentic Complete Museum documentation (COA) Provided. Certified by The Gettysburg Museum of History.
