Julius Ohliger: A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen

The Julius Ohliger, Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in Solingen. The exact founding year is unknown, but the company produced early SA service daggers during the Nazi era. 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 4,000 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. Other products include general steel goods.

The logo of Julius Ohliger consisted of a circular design resembling a seal. The text "JULIUS OHLIGER" is placed in uppercase letters along the upper arc of the circle, while "SOLINGEN" is at the bottom arc. In the center of the circle is a small, dark circle (possibly a dot). The text is in a classic, serif font, indicating a minimalist and traditional trademark typically etched on blades or products to denote origin and quality.

Today, the products of Julius Ohliger 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.
