Carl & Robert Linder: A Traditional Manufacturer from Solingen

The Carl & Robert Linder, Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in 1911 in Solingen-Weyer. The company specialized in steel goods production and expanded during the Nazi era to edged weapons, particularly SA service daggers. In 1935, it received the RZM code M7/15, assigned for the production of political daggers. The firm was located on Weyerstraße 186 in Solingen-Weyer. There was a previous company named "Carl Linder" prior to 1937, and the firm was associated with the "Linder-Messer" and "Rehwappen" trademarks. The location in Solingen-Weyer underscores the region's tradition as a center for blade production in Germany.

The firm produced approximately 5,000 SA service daggers (Sturmabteilung), rated with a rarity of 4/5 as highly rare. These daggers bear the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and feature nickel-silver fittings. Other products include HJ knives and general steel goods.

The logo of Carl & Robert Linder typically consisted of a deer emblem (Rehwappen) and the text "Linder-Messer Solingen." This trademark symbolized quality and made the products recognizable in the collector's scene.
