Krumm Gebrüder, Solingen

The Gebrüder Krumm, Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in 1907 in Solingen and was a manufacturer of cutlery and edged weapons. During the Nazi era, the company produced early SA and NSKK daggers in the period from 1933 to 1936. It did not receive an RZM code, limiting production to the early phase of NSDAP equipment. The location in Solingen underscores the region's tradition as a center for blade production in Germany.

The firm specialized in SA service daggers (Sturmabteilung), produced in an estimated quantity of about 3,000 pieces. These daggers are rated with a rarity of 3.5/5 as moderately rare and appreciated by collectors, featuring the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and produced without RZM marking. Other products include NSKK daggers and general steel goods.

The logo or trademark of Gebrüder Krumm typically consisted of the text "Gebr. Krumm Solingen," often etched in a plain font on the blade. This simple trademark emphasized the manufacturer's functional orientation and made the products recognizable in the collector's scene.

Today, the products of Gebrüder Krumm represent a rare chapter in the Solingen manufacturer history of the edged weapons industry. The limited production and focus on early Nazi weapons make them an important example of the Nazi era, ideal for an encyclopedia on Solingen manufacturers.
