The Richard & E. Hartkopf, Besteckfabrik und Stahlwarenfabrik, company began prior to 1932 (possible 1927) where the company was listed in Florastrasse 100 in Solingen. The company was listed as a maker of cutlery and steel ware. During the Third Reich, it is estimated that Rich. & E. Hartkopf made 1,000 SA daggers. While Hartkopf is a very common name in Solingen, it is possible that in 1937, E. (Erich) Hartkopf went off on his own to start the "EHASO" (Erich Hartkopf Stahlwarenfabrikation GmbH & Co.) company. The "EHASO" company, partnering with Aesculap, is currently still in business in Solingen.
