Josef Wolf: A Rare Manufacturer from Munich-Au
The Josef Wolf, Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in Munich-Au (Haidhausen). 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 Munich-Au makes it one of the few manufacturers in Bavaria that produced SA daggers.
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 Josef Wolf is a circular emblem with the text "JOSEF WOLF." along the upper arc and "MÜNCHEN-AU." along the lower arc. In the center is a stylized "V" or double "V" (like a diamond or overlaid triangles), in dark gray on a transparent background, conveying a modern, geometric aesthetic.
Today, the products of Josef Wolf are coveted collectibles that embody the historical development of the Bavarian 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.
