Merten August Ww.: A Traditional Manufacturer from Solingen-Gräfrath

The Merten August Ww., Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in 1910 in Solingen-Gräfrath. 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 M7/31, assigned for the production of political daggers. The location in Solingen-Gräfrath underscores the region's tradition as a center for blade production in Germany.

The firm produced approximately 14,000 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 typically feature nickel-silver fittings.
