Malsch David: A Rare Manufacturer from Steinbach, Thuringia

The Malsch David, Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in 1806 in Steinbach, Thuringia. 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 codes M7/70 and RZM 1164/##/SS, assigned for the production of political daggers. The location in Steinbach makes it one of the manufacturers in Thuringia that produced SA daggers.

The firm specialized in SA service daggers (Sturmabteilung), produced in an estimated quantity of about 1,000 pieces. These daggers are rated with a rarity of 5/5 as extremely rare and highly valued by collectors. They bear the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and typically feature nickel-silver fittings. Other products include general steel goods.

The logo or trademark of Malsch David is not detailed, but typically consisted of the text "Malsch David Steinbach," etched on the blade.

Today, the products of Malsch David are coveted collectibles that embody the historical development of the Thuringian 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.
