The Küpper & Oertling, Stahlwarenfabrik, partnership began in 1918, with Karl Küpper and Franz Oertling. The Neptun tradename was originally registered by Karl Küpper of Hohscheid bei Solingen in 1898. Küpper also registered several variation trademarks around that time. The Küpper & Oertling company registered in Solingen on April 16, 1919. An advertisement published in the 1922 Solingen und sein Industriebezirk, listed Neptun's products as: pocket knives, cutlery and scissors. Alfred Oertling was listed as the sole owner in 1928. Come the Third Reich, early era SA daggers were made-Fisher estimates 3,000. In 1939, the company was located on Kolnerstrasse 28-30. After WWII, the business started up again. By 1960, the company moved to Obenpilghausen in Solingen. Shortly thereafter the firm dissolved on November 13, 1962.
