Herder F. Albrecht, Solingen

Herder Friedrich Albrecht & Sohn (Ffc) is one of the oldest edged weapons manufacturers from Solingen, the famous Blade City in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The roots date back to 1623, with the official company founding around 1727. The company was located in Constantwerk, Solingen, and combined traditional techniques with innovations, such as the first carbide-tipped single-lip drill in 1927. During the Nazi era, Herder Friedrich Albrecht & Sohn received the RZM code M7/49 and the SS contract code RZM 1203/##/SS, authorizing it to produce uniform items for the NSDAP and SS. The manufacturer produced SA daggers, distributed in the Reichsgaus Nrh (Lower Rhine), Om (Eastmark), S (Silesia), Sw (Swabia), Wf (Westphalia), and Wm (Westmark). The estimated production quantity of SA daggers was about 22,000 pieces, making these models a low rarity – on a rarity scale from 1 to 5, they are rated 2. The daggers bear the engraving “Alles für Deutschland” on the blade, with nickel-plated handles and detailed emblems, showcasing high quality. No further activity is known after World War II, but the firm is part of Solingen's long knife-making tradition, focusing on knives, scissors, and tools.
