Gustav Wirth: A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen-Gräfrath

The Gustav Wirth, Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in 1897 in Solingen-Gräfrath. The company specialized in steel goods production and expanded during the Nazi era to edged weapons, particularly SA service daggers. The location in Solingen-Gräfrath underscores the region's tradition as a center for blade production in Germany.

The firm produced approximately 4,000 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 Gustav Wirth is a circular emblem with the text "GUSTAV WIRTH" along the upper arc and "SOLINGEN GRÄFRATH" along the lower arc. In the center is a large "W". The logo is in dark gray on a transparent background, symbolizing tradition and quality, typically etched on blades.

Today, the products of Gustav Wirth 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.
