Dirlam & Söhne: A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen

The Dirlam & Söhne, Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in 1856 in Solingen. The company specialized in steel goods production and expanded during the Nazi era to edged weapons, particularly SA service daggers [M1933] and bayonets. The location in Solingen underscores the region's tradition as a center for blade production in Germany. Reichsgau (SA): Nrh (Nordrhein).

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. These daggers bear the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and typically feature nickel-silver fittings. Other products include bayonets.

The logo of Dirlam & Söhne features the text „Dirlam & Söhne Solingen“ in a curved, gothic script, often with a surrounding frame, as depicted on the blades of the daggers. The design conveys a classic, traditional aesthetic and was typically etched on blades.

Today, the products of Dirlam & Söhne 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.
