Rother August: A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen

The Rother August, 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 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 1,000 pieces. These daggers are rated with a rarity of 4/5 as highly rare and valued by collectors, featuring the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and nickel-silver fittings. Other products include general steel goods.

The logo or trademark of Rother August is not detailed documented.

Today, the products of Rother August 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.
