Is anyone around here knowledgeable about medals? I have what seems to be an 1939 SA (Sturmabetilung?) medal that I know nothing about.

These are pictures of both sides of the medal. It seems to be made out of aluminum-copper or a similar alloy. I have showed it to someone who has told me it is fake, that no such medal even existed. However, the person who told me that is quite a questionable individual who has also told me some of my pieces in my coin collection were fakes (and later they turned out not to be). I have not been able to find anything conclusive online, so I hope someone knows what this is. I do not mind if it is a fake, but I would like to know whether it is real or not. In the case it is real, an approximate value would also be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you!

Found this link which might be helpful, as  find it in any of my fours books on this subject. The SA at the beginning has something to do with sport.

Nice badge, which I do not have

I'm just a collector of coins, not a slave to it, unless I am in a coin shop.
For all you banknote collectors. Link to my swap list.

For badges I would go to ordens-forum.de, eventhough its german they might be able to help you better. (Just ask in english or translate your request)
