Ludwig Groten: A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen

The Ludwig Groten, Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded before 1920 in Solingen and registered with the Solingen Chamber of Commerce on December 15, 1920. The company specialized in steel goods production and expanded during the Nazi era to edged weapons, particularly SA service daggers [M1933]. The location in Solingen underscores the region's tradition as a center for blade production in Germany. Reichsgau (SA): Nrh, Wm.

The firm produced approximately 1,000 SA service daggers (Sturmabteilung), rated with a rarity of 4.5/5 as highly rare and appreciated by collectors. These daggers bear the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and typically feature nickel-silver fittings. Other products include general steel goods. No RZM code is mentioned.

The logo of Ludwig Groten features the text „Ludwig Groten Solingen“ in a clear, stretched font, often accompanied by a stylized anchor symbol representing stability and quality, typically etched on blades.

Today, the products of Ludwig Groten 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.
