Wilhelm Halbach: A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen
The Wilhelm Halbach, Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in 1931 in Solingen. 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 M7/35, assigned for the production of political daggers. The location in Solingen underscores the region's tradition as a center for blade production in Germany. Reichsgau (SA): He, P.
The firm produced approximately 1,000 SA service daggers (Sturmabteilung), rated with a rarity of 4/5 as highly rare. These daggers bear the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and typically feature nickel-silver fittings. Other products include general steel goods.
The logo of Wilhelm Halbach typically shows the inscription „Wilhelm Halbach Solingen“ in clear, stretched lettering, often accompanied by the RZM M7/35 marking on the blades of the daggers. It includes a fir tree symbol, representing the quality and tradition of the manufacturer, typically etched on blades.
Today, the products of Wilhelm Halbach 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. We are interested in purchasing products from this manufacturer.
