Müller Gottfried: A Rare Manufacturer from Herges Vogtei, Thuringia

The Müller Gottfried, Stahlwarenfabrik, was based in Herges Vogtei, Thuringia, and a manufacturer of steel goods and edged weapons. During the Nazi era, the company expanded production to political daggers. In 1935, it received the RZM code M7/54, assigned for the production of daggers for the NSDAP. The location in Herges Vogtei 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 12,000 pieces. These daggers are rated with a rarity of 2.5/5 as relatively common but still appreciated by collectors. They bear the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and feature nickel-silver fittings. Other products include general steel goods.

The logo or trademark of Müller Gottfried is not detailed documented.

Today, the products of Müller Gottfried are coveted collectibles that embody the historical development of the Thuringian edged weapons industry. The production under RZM makes them an important example of the Nazi era, ideal for an encyclopedia on blank weapons manufacturers. We are interested in purchasing products from this manufacturer.
