This is an original German commemorative badge, known as a tinnie, issued for the SA (Sturmabteilung) Brigade meeting held in Erfurt during Easter 1934. The badge measures 69 mm x 40 mm and features a dynamic design of a hand raising a sword against a swastika, centered with the SA organizational emblem [2, 5]. The blade of the sword bears the prominent embossed inscription: BRIGADE TREFFEN ERFURT OSTERN 34. The reverse side is constructed with a deep counter-relief strike, characteristic of lightweight stamped rally insignia from this era. The vertical pin attachment base is clearly marked with the prestigious manufacturer's name: GUSTAV BREHMER MARKNEUKIRCHEN [2, 5]. The item retains its natural aged patina and sharp striking details, confirming its historical authenticity and craftsmanship.
Historically, this badge is a significant artifact from the early consolidation period of paramilitary structures in the Third Reich. The Erfurt rally was a major propaganda event for the "Brownshirts," designed to showcase the organization's unity and strength shortly before pivotal internal political shifts [2]. Products from the Gustav Brehmer firm in Markneukirchen are highly valued by collectors for their superior stamping quality and attention to detail. Given its specific dimensions and unique design blending weaponry with party symbols, this badge remains a highly desirable piece for specialists in historical German awards and insignia.
