The SA was divided in several districts across Germany and some of the captured lands. The flag featured here
is from the Roth district. Very heavy duty construction. Red background with fringes on the side. One
corner has a separate brown square with the name of the district stitched.
A swastika is part of the design to indicate solidarity with
the Nazi party.
Of cotton construction.
Single piece with a red background and silk screened circle with swastika in the center.
Reinforced top with a loop that allowed a bar to go through for mounting purposes.

These flags were used in parades to represent the district. They were also used in national meetings
for the SA.

The flag measures approximately 51 x 43 inches. A closer look to the fringes reveals what appears to be close
to a wire material.
The "Roth" square is a separate piece that has been added. The border is of blue color and is very similar
to the border used in political armbands and collar tabs. The letters are chain stitched on white thread.
The moths have gotten to some of the material and show a red backgroung.
This flag is currently being reproduced.
It is becoming more difficult to be able to tell the fake ones from the real ones because the quality
of the reproductions is improving. The collector must become familiarized with the construction style
and materials employed in the manufacturing of this flag. Attention to the details is critical in
order to be able to determine the authenticity of the flag.
