Thomas Wielpütz (Gegr. 1880): A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen-Höhscheid

The Thomas Wielpütz (Gegr. 1880), Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in 1880 in Solingen-Höhscheid. 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 M7/109, assigned for the production of political daggers. The location in Solingen-Höhscheid 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 4.5/5 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 Thomas Wielpütz consists of a circular emblem with the text "THOMAS WIELPÜTZ" along the upper arc and "SOLINGEN-HÖHSCHEID" along the lower arc. In the center is "GEGR. 1880," meaning "founded 1880." The logo is in dark gray on a transparent background, conveying a classic, traditional aesthetic, typically used as a seal on products.

Today, the products of Thomas Wielpütz 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.
