Josef Schlimbach: A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen

The Josef Schlimbach, 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. 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 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 Josef Schlimbach consists of the curved text "JOS.SCHLIMBACH SOLINGEN" in uppercase letters, in a classic font. It is in dark gray on a transparent background and appears as an arc or semi-circle design, symbolizing the origin and quality of the manufacturer.

Today, the products of Josef Schlimbach 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.
