The company Pluemacher Richard & Sohn, Stahlwarenfabrik was based in Solingen, Germany. While the exact founding year of the firm remains undocumented in historical records, it was a recognized entity within Solingen’s industrial network. During the Third Reich era, the company expanded its manufacturing scope to include the contract production of political edged weapons, focusing primarily on SA service daggers (Sturmabteilung), reinforcing Solingen's long-standing status as a global center for blade craftsmanship.
In 1935, the factory was officially assigned the RZM code M7/8 for the manufacturing of NSDAP political organization daggers. Pluemacher Richard & Sohn manufactured an estimated total of only 1,000 SA service daggers. This extremely limited production run grants these historical pieces an exceptional rarity rating of 4.5/5 (highly rare) among military antiques collectors. These pieces are recognized for their high-quality craftsmanship, featuring solid nickel-silver fittings and the iconic etched blade motto "Alles für Deutschland".
Although a detailed, standardized maker mark for Pluemacher Richard & Sohn is not extensively documented in academic literature, their products are highly distinct and verified by experts through their specific RZM coding and manufacturing characteristics. Today, surviving products from this maker represent a significant and scarce chapter of Solingen's blade industry history. We are actively interested in purchasing authentic examples from this manufacturer for our collection.
