Linder Carl, Solingen-Merscheid

The Carl Linder steelworks was established in 1870 in Solingen-Merscheid.

During the Nazi era, the firm expanded into edged weapons, producing early SA (Sturmabteilung) service daggers.

As the firm did not receive an RZM code, production was limited to the period before 1935, resulting in approximately 2,000 highly rare daggers (rarity 4.5/5).

The trademark typically consists of the etched text «C. Linder / Solingen / Merscheid» on the reverse of the blade.
