SA REICHSWETTKÄMPFE
SET OF SIX POSTCARDS

The series of cards shown below feature various SA men competing in the games. The reverse of the cards is very plain with only the word "Postkarte" and the card 'Bild' number from 1 to 6. These cards were also used as admission tickets to the competition events, these can easily be identified by the presence of a number printed on the front side of the card on the top right-hand edge.
