Erbe H. A.: A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen

The Erbe H. A., Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in Solingen. The exact founding year is unknown. The company specialized in steel goods production and expanded during the Nazi era to edged weapons, particularly SA service daggers [M1933]. In 1935, it received the RZM code M7/69, assigned for the production of political daggers. The location in Solingen underscores the region's tradition as a center for blade production in Germany. The RZM license was revoked in 1939.

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

The logo of Erbe H. A. typically shows the text „H. A. Erbe Solingen“ in a clear, stretched font, often accompanied by the RZM-M7/69 marking on the blades of the daggers. The design conveys a classic aesthetic and was typically etched on blades.

Today, the products of Erbe H. A. 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.
