Gebrüder Lützenkirchen (SEEHUND): A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen

The Gebrüder Lützenkirchen, Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded before the 1920s in Solingen and listed in 1920 as a manufacturer of straight razors. The company specialized in steel goods such as straight razors, stag-gripped hunting knives, cutlery, and scissors. During the Nazi era, Gebrüder Lützenkirchen expanded production to edged weapons, particularly SA service daggers. 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 produced approximately 1,000 SA service daggers (Sturmabteilung), rated with a rarity of 5/5 as extremely rare. These daggers bear the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and typically feature nickel-silver fittings. Other products include straight razors, hunting knives, cutlery, and scissors.

The logo of Gebrüder Lützenkirchen consisted of the "Seehund" trademark, depicting a knife cutting into an anvil, registered in 1922. This mark symbolized craftsmanship and made the products recognizable in the collector's scene.

Today, the products of Gebrüder Lützenkirchen are coveted collectibles that embody the historical development of the Solingen manufacturer history in 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.
