The company Eugen Scheidt, Stahlwarenfabrik was based in Solingen-Ohligs, Germany. While the exact founding year of the firm remains undocumented in historical records, it was a recognized entity within the industrial network of the "Blade City". During the early National Socialist era, the company participated in the production of political edged weapons. Notably, the firm did not receive an RZM code, which restricted its production of official party equipment to the early phase of NSDAP procurement.
The manufacturer specialized in the production of early SA service daggers (Sturmabteilung). The production run totaled approximately 1,000 pieces. This volume grants these historical pieces a 4.5/5 rarity rating (highly rare) among military antiques collectors. These daggers are recognized for their quality and the distinct absence of RZM markings. They bear the iconic etched blade motto "Alles für Deutschland" and remain highly sought-after artifacts.
The trademark of Eugen Scheidt features a classic aesthetic: a circular emblem with the text "EUGEN SCHEIDT" along the upper arc and "SOLINGEN-OHLIGS" along the lower arc. At the center is a stylized symbol resembling a tower or "E" with an "M" above, flanked by star-like elements. Surviving products from this maker represent a rare chapter of Solingen's blade industry history, making them excellent reference examples for any comprehensive blank weapons encyclopedia focused on early Nazi-era manufacturers.
