Eugen Scheidt: A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen-Ohligs

The Eugen Scheidt, Stahlwarenfabrik, was based in Solingen-Ohligs and a manufacturer of steel goods and edged weapons. The exact founding year is unknown. 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-Ohligs 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 4.5/5 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 of Eugen Scheidt is a circular emblem with the text "EUGEN SCHEIDT" along the upper arc and "SOLINGEN-OHLIGS" along the lower arc. In the center is a stylized symbol resembling a tower or "E" with "M" above it, flanked by star-like elements. The logo is in dark gray on a transparent background, conveying a classic, traditional aesthetic.

Today, the products of Eugen Scheidt 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.
