C.D. Schaaff (PERFECTUM): A Traditional Manufacturer from Solingen

The C.D. Schaaff (PERFECTUM), Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in 1871 in Solingen. 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 M7/56, 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 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 C.D. Schaaff features the silhouette of a man with a hat and pipe in his mouth, facing left. Below is the text "C.D.SCHAFF SOLINGEN GEGR.1871" in uppercase letters, in dark gray on a transparent background. This trademark symbolizes the manufacturer's craftsmanship and tradition and was typically used on blades or products.

Today, the products of C.D. Schaaff 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.
