Lauterjung & Co. TIGER, Solingen

The Lauterjung & Co. (TIGER), Tiger Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in 1873 in Solingen. The company specialized in the production of knives, scissors, razors, and manicure products, expanding during the Nazi era to edged weapons, particularly SA service daggers and HJ knives. In 1935, it received the RZM code M7/68, assigned for the production of political daggers. The location in Solingen underscores the region's tradition as a center for blade production in Germany.

The firm produced approximately 10,000 SA service daggers (Sturmabteilung), rated with a rarity of 2.5/5 as relatively common but still appreciated by collectors. These daggers bear the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and feature nickel-silver fittings. Other products include HJ knives with the motto "Blut und Ehre!" as well as razors and scissors.

The logo of Lauterjung & Co. consisted of the TIGER symbol, often supplemented by the text "Tiger Solingen" or the RZM mark. This trademark symbolized strength and quality and made the products recognizable in the collector's scene.

Today, the products of Lauterjung & Co. are coveted collectibles that embody the industrial and historical development of the Solingen manufacturer history in the edged weapons industry. The company represents the transition to military weapons during the Nazi era, making it an important chapter in the encyclopedia of Solingen manufacturers.
