Description

Hardware made of cupronickel (nickel silver) is characteristic of early items, typically manufactured before 1936. Due to limited production runs, high manufacturing quality, and noble appearance, such items are traditionally valued by collectors more highly than their later counterparts.

Paul Weyersberg & Co. was a German edged weapons manufacturer based in Solingen, Germany's historic center of blade production. The company produced a wide range of military and dress edged weapons, including bayonets, sabers, swords, and daggers. Paul Weyersberg products were supplied to various military, government, and Party organizations throughout Germany. Examples of the firm's work are found from the Imperial German, Weimar Republic, and Third Reich periods. During the Third Reich era, the company was assigned the RZM code M7/43, while its wartime manufacturer's code was crs. The firm's products are also commonly encountered with the blade marking "Paul Weyersberg & Co. Solingen."
