Schneider Gustav Nachfolger: A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen

The Schneider Gustav Nachfolger, Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in 1889 in Solingen. 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 M7/77, assigned for the production of political daggers. The location in Solingen underscores the region's tradition as a center for blade production in Germany. It is listed as a maker of SA daggers with high rarity, and early examples are particularly scarce.

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 Schneider Gustav Nachfolger consists of the curved text "GUS.SCHNEIDER" at the top and "SOLINGEN" at the bottom in uppercase letters. It is in dark gray on a transparent background, resembling an arc design that symbolizes origin and quality.

Today, the products of Schneider Gustav Nachfolger are coveted collectibles that embody the historical development of the Solingen manufacturer history in the edged weapons industry. The limited production and focus on Nazi weapons make them an important example of the Nazi era, ideal for an encyclopedia on blank weapons manufacturers.
