Herder & Sohn: A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen

The Herder & Sohn, Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in 1923 in Solingen. The company specialized in steel goods production and expanded during the Nazi era to edged weapons, particularly SA service daggers. The location in Solingen underscores the region's tradition as a center for blade production in Germany.

The firm produced approximately 1,000 SA service daggers (Sturmabteilung), rated with a rarity of 4.5/5 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 Herder & Sohn features a man with a lantern (Diogenes), symbolizing tradition and quality, typically etched on blades.

Today, the products of Herder & Sohn 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.
