Historical Background:

The 1930 Romanian Army officers’ dirks appeared in the context of the interwar period, when Romania was trying to strengthen its army and enhance the national spirit. This period was marked by intensive efforts to modernize the country’s armed forces. Dirks served as an important element of officers’ uniforms and reflected the high social and military status of their owners.

The design of the 1930 model dirk was influenced by common European fashions in armament, but retained unique features characteristic of the Romanian tradition.

It was worn at both official military ceremonies and parades, symbolizing discipline, responsibility and honor.

Romania, like many other European nations, actively renewed its military traditions after World War I, and dirks became an integral part of the uniform for officers of all ranks.

“F.W. Holler Solingen:

Founded in 1866 in Solingen, Germany.

During World War I, “F.W. Holler” produced bayonets from the 1898/1905 model in small quantities. Between 1933 and 1945, when Germany entered World War II, the company expanded production, producing a variety of edged weapons, including 1884/98 bayonets.

The company had the code RZM: M7/33.
The company ceased to exist in 1974 .
