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.

Stöcker & Co. SMF was a German metalworking company from Solingen that produced edged weapons for aviation organizations of the Third Reich. The enterprise specialized in manufacturing daggers and dirks for the DLV, NSFK, and Luftwaffe, distinguished by the high quality of their blades and fittings. The products were marked with the "SMF" stamp.
