Reich Erhardt: A Rare Manufacturer from Schweina, Thuringia

The Reich Erhardt, Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in Schweina, Thuringia. The exact founding year is unknown. 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 M7/115, assigned for the production of political daggers. The location in Schweina makes it one of the manufacturers in Thuringia that produced SA daggers.

These daggers are rated with a rarity of 4.5/5 as highly rare and valued by collectors, featuring the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and nickel-silver fittings.
