Alexander Coppel (Alcoso): A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen

The Alexander Coppel (Alcoso), Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in 1865 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 M7/66, 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 10,000 SA service daggers (Sturmabteilung), rated with a rarity of 3/5 as moderately rare. These daggers bear the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and typically feature nickel-silver fittings. Other products include general steel goods.

The logo of Alexander Coppel (Alcoso) consists of the text "Alcoso" in cursive script at the top, "A C S" in the middle with a stylized balance scale between them, and "SOLINGEN" at the bottom in uppercase letters. The logo is in dark gray on a transparent background, symbolizing justice and quality, typically etched on blades.

Today, the products of Alexander Coppel (Alcoso) 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.
