Wilhelm Weltersbach: A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen

The Wilhelm Weltersbach, 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. In 1935, it received the RZM code M7/22, assigned for the production of political daggers. The location in Solingen 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 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 Wilhelm Weltersbach consists of a circular emblem with the text "WILH. WELTERSBACH" along the upper arc and "SOLINGEN" along the lower arc. In the center is a stylized symbol of a press or machine with descending lines, flanked by stars. The logo is in dark gray on a transparent background, symbolizing industrial strength and tradition.

Today, the products of Wilhelm Weltersbach 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.
