Eduard Vitting: A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen
The Eduard Vitting, 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 produced approximately 2,000 SA service daggers (Sturmabteilung), rated with a rarity of 4.5/5 as highly rare. These daggers bear the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and typically feature nickel-silver fittings. Other products include general steel goods.
The logo of Eduard Vitting consists of a circular emblem with the text "EDUARD VITTING" along the upper arc and "SOLINGEN" along the lower arc. In the center are two stylized figures holding tools (like hammers), flanked by stars. The logo is in dark gray on a transparent background, symbolizing craftsmanship and tradition, typically etched on blades.
Today, the products of Eduard Vitting 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. We are interested in purchasing products from this manufacturer.
