Heinrich Kaufmann & Söhne: A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen

The Heinrich Kaufmann & Söhne, Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in 1856 in Solingen. The company specialized in steel goods production and expanded during the Nazi era to edged weapons, particularly SA daggers. The location in Solingen, North Rhine-Westphalia, underscores the region's tradition as a center for blade production in Germany. Reichsgau (SA): No, Nrh, Ns, Wm. The daggers bear the engraving „Alles für Deutschland“ on the blade, with nickel-plated grips and detailed emblems. No known activity after World War II.

The firm produced approximately 8,000 SA daggers (Sturmabteilung), rated with a rarity of 3.5/5 as moderately rare. These daggers typically feature nickel-silver fittings. Other products include general steel goods.

The logo of Heinrich Kaufmann & Söhne features the company name „Heinrich Kaufmann & Söhne Solingen“ etched on the blade, often accompanied by „India-Werk“. The design conveys a classic aesthetic and was typically etched on blades.

Today, the products of Heinrich Kaufmann & Söhne 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.
