Gebrüder Torley: A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen-Wald

The Gebrüder Torley, Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in 1850 in Solingen-Wald. The company specialized in steel goods production and expanded during the Nazi era to edged weapons, particularly SA service daggers. The location in Solingen-Wald 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 Gebrüder Torley is a circular emblem in dark gray on a transparent background. The text "GEBR. TORLEY" is placed along the upper arc, and "SOLINGEN" along the lower arc. In the center is a stylized butterfly or moth with spread wings, flanked by small stars. This design symbolizes lightness and precision and was typically etched on blades.

Today, the products of Gebrüder Torley 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.
