Jacobs & Co.: A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen-Gräfrath

The Jacobs & Co., Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in 1908 in Solingen-Gräfrath and registered with the Solingen Chamber of Commerce on May 14, 1919. 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 codes M7/26, M7/118, and 324/37/SS, 324/38/SS, assigned for the production of political daggers. The location in Solingen-Gräfrath underscores the region's tradition as a center for blade production in Germany. Reichsgau (SA): He (Hessen-Nassau). It produced uniform items for NSDAP and SS, with daggers featuring the engraving „Alles für Deutschland“ on the blade, nickel-plated grips, and detailed emblems. No further activity known after World War II.

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 Jacobs & Co. shows the company name „Jacobs & Co. Solingen-Gräfrath“ etched on the blade, often accompanied by the round RZM emblem and the code M7/118. It is a circular emblem with "JACOBS & CO." at the top, "SOLINGEN-GRÄFRATH" at the bottom, and a stylized "Jco" in the center, flanked by dots, in dark gray on a transparent background, symbolizing tradition and quality, typically etched on blades.

Today, the products of Jacobs & Co. are coveted collectibles that embody the historical development of the Solingen manufacturer history in the edged weapons industry.
