Ewald Cleff (Waffenfabrik): A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen

The Ewald Cleff (Waffenfabrik), Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in 1867 in Solingen. The company specialized in steel goods production and expanded during the Nazi era to edged weapons, particularly SA, Hitler Youth, Fire Brigade daggers, and bayonets. In 1935, it received the RZM code M7/93, assigned for the production of political daggers. The location in Solingen underscores the region's tradition as a center for blade production in Germany. Reichsgau (SA): Ho, Nrh, Wm.

The firm produced approximately 2,000 SA service daggers (Sturmabteilung), rated with a rarity of 4/5 as highly rare. These daggers bear the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and feature high-quality craftsmanship. Other products include Hitler Youth, Fire Brigade daggers, and bayonets.

The logo of Ewald Cleff features the text „Cleff“ in an elegant, cursive script, embedded in an oval emblem. The design conveys tradition and high craftsmanship, emphasizing the manufacturer’s quality, typically etched on blades.

Today, the products of Ewald Cleff are coveted collectibles that embody the historical development of the Solingen manufacturer history in the edged weapons industry. The limited production and focus on Nazi weapons make them an important example of the Nazi era, ideal for an encyclopedia on blank weapons manufacturers. We are interested in purchasing, selling, and offering consignment sales of products from this manufacturer to promote the trade of historical edged weapons.
