This page lists all known RZM M7 manufacturers — the approved makers of daggers for the NSDAP during the Third Reich period. Daggers are among the most sought-after items in German militaria collecting, and the M7 code is one of the most important references for identifying the maker of an original piece. Almost all M7 manufacturers were based in Solingen, the traditional centre of German blade-making.
For an explanation of how RZM codes work and a full list of all prefix categories, see our German RZM Codes — Complete Collector's Guide.

We’ve been building out a library of guides covering everything from German helmet sizes and RZM codes to British uniform sizing and War Department stamps. We add new ones as we get the time, so there’s always something new in the works.
