Krusius Gebr. GAZELLE, Solingen

The Gebrüder Krusius AG (Gazelle), Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in 1848 in Solingen-Wald. The company specialized in steel goods production and expanded during the Nazi era to edged weapons, particularly early SA service daggers. It did not receive an RZM code, limiting production to the early phase of NSDAP equipment. The location in Solingen-Wald underscores the region's tradition as a center for blade production in Germany.

The firm specialized in SA service daggers (Sturmabteilung), produced in an estimated quantity of about 6,000 pieces. These daggers are rated with a rarity of 4/5 as highly rare and appreciated by collectors, featuring the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and produced without RZM marking. Other products include general steel goods and blades.

The logo of Gebrüder Krusius consisted of a leaping gazelle, often supplemented by the text "Gebr. Krusius Solingen." This trademark symbolized elegance and speed and made the products recognizable in the collector's scene.

Today, the products of Gebrüder Krusius are coveted collectibles that embody the historical development of the Solingen manufacturer history in the edged weapons industry. The limited production and focus on early Nazi weapons make them an important example of the Nazi era, ideal for an encyclopedia on Solingen manufacturers.
