E. Bonsmann (DREIANKERWERK): A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen

The E. Bonsmann (DREIANKERWERK), Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in 1866 in Solingen. The company specialized in the production of daggers and edged weapons with excellent craftsmanship and durable quality. During the Nazi era, it expanded to edged weapons, particularly SA service daggers. The location in Solingen underscores the region's tradition as a center for blade production in Germany. Reichsgau (SA): Nm, Om, P.

The firm produced approximately 1,000 SA service daggers (Sturmabteilung), rated with a rarity of 5/5 as extremely rare and highly valued by collectors, featuring the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and nickel-silver fittings. Other products include general steel goods.

The logo of E. Bonsmann consists of a circular emblem resembling a seal. The text "E.BONSMANN" is placed in uppercase letters along the upper arc, while "SOLINGEN" is at the bottom. In the center is a shield with three vertically arranged anchors, crossed by an "X". The text is in a classic, serif font, black on a transparent background, indicating a minimalist and traditional trademark typically etched on blades or products to denote origin and quality.

Today, the products of E. Bonsmann 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.
