      Re:  Registration Statement on Form S-2

Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel to Sigma Alpha Group, Ltd. (the "Company"), a
Delaware corporation, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-2, as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 21, 1997 (the
"Registration  Statement"), covering 5,132,500 shares of the Company's Common
Stock, $.001 par value, and 100,000 shares of Common Stock underlying a Common
Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Securities").

     In acting as counsel for the Company and arriving at the opinions as
expressed below, we have examined and relied upon originals or copies, certi-
fied or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the
Company, agreements and other instruments, certificates of officers and
representatives of the Company, certificates of public officials and other
documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the
opinions expressed herein. 

     In connection with our examination we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the authenticity of all documents tendered to us as originals, the
legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to original documents of
all documents submitted to us as certified or photostated copies.

     Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and limitations
set forth herein, it is our opinion that:

           1.   The Company has authority to issue the Securities in the manner
and under the terms set forth in the Registration Statement.

           2.  The Securities have been duly authorized and when issued,
delivered and paid for in accordance with their respective terms, will be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     We express no opinion with respect to the laws other than those of the
State of New York and Federal Laws of the United States of America, and we
assume no responsibility as to the applicability thereto, the effect thereon,
of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit  5.1 to the
Registration Statement and it its use as part of the Registration Statement.







     We are furnishing this opinion to the Company solely for its benefit in
connection with the Registration Statement.  It is not to be used, circulated,
quoted or otherwise relied upon for any other purpose.

                   
                          Very truly yours,

                          SILVERMAN, COLLURA, CHERNIS & BALZANO, P.C.
