Schneider Hermann: A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen-Aufderhöhe

The Schneider Hermann, Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in Solingen-Aufderhöhe. 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 M7/21, assigned for the production of political daggers. The location in Solingen-Aufderhöhe underscores the region's tradition as a center for blade production in Germany.

The firm produced approximately 1,000 SA service daggers (Sturmabteilung), rated with a rarity of 5/5 as extremely rare. These daggers bear the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and typically feature nickel-silver fittings. Other products include general steel goods.

The logo of Schneider Hermann consists of an oval emblem with the text "HERMANN SCHNEIDER" along the upper arc and "SOLINGEN-AUFDERHOHE" along the lower arc. In the center is a sailing ship with two masts and flags, depicted in a simple line drawing. The logo is in dark gray on a transparent background, symbolizing maritime themes, possibly alluding to "Schneider" meaning tailor or cutter, here with a ship motif.

Today, the products of Schneider Hermann 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.
