Haastert Richard & Büll: A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen-Wald

The Haastert Richard & Büll, Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in Solingen-Wald. 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 [M1933]. The location in Solingen-Wald underscores the region's tradition as a center for blade production in Germany. Reichsgau (SA): B (Bayern), Ha (Hansa), He (Hessen), Sa (Sachsen).

The firm produced approximately 3,000 SA service daggers (Sturmabteilung), rated with a rarity of 4/5 as highly rare and appreciated by collectors. These daggers bear the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and typically feature nickel-silver fittings. Other products include general steel goods.

The logo of Haastert Richard & Büll features the inscription „Haastert & Büll Solingen“ in clear, elongated script, often surrounded by a thin line, as depicted on the blades of the daggers. It includes a stylized symbol of a hare with a knife, representing the quality and tradition of the manufacturer, typically etched on blades.

Today, the products of Haastert Richard & Büll 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.
