Ohliger F. Ed.: A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen

The Ohliger F. Ed. KG, Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in Solingen. The exact founding year is unknown. The company specialized in steel goods production and expanded during the Nazi era to edged weapons, particularly early 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 specialized in SA service daggers (Sturmabteilung), produced in an estimated quantity of about 2,000 pieces. These daggers are rated with a rarity of 5/5 as extremely rare and highly valued by collectors, featuring the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and nickel-silver fittings. The daggers have a very rare maker mark, with an occurrence rate of only 2/1,000 daggers, and are rated 9/10 on the McSarr scale. Other products include general steel goods.

The logo or trademark of Ohliger F. Ed. typically consisted of the text "F. Ed. Ohliger Solingen," etched on the blade in a plain font. This simple trademark emphasized the manufacturer's functional orientation and made the products recognizable in the collector's scene.

Today, the products of Ohliger F. Ed. 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.
