Hey Dave,
check out this "C. E. Schmachtenberg, Solingen" blade on this white Russian dagger.
I found this on "SAMMLER.ru" and the person wanted to know about this dagger manufacture. There are lots of pictures of this dagger, with the dagger taken down into parts.
I tried to sign into this Russian site, but it was too difficult for me.
One member said the pommel has a Russian monogram that was attributed to SHAF for sure. Not sure what Imperial monogram of Russia that is.
It sure seems that "C.E. Schmachtenberg, Solingen" blades were used in Russia.
A member of "SAMMLER.ru" posted the link to this site "C.E. Schmachtenberg, Solingen-Your new forums" (germandaggers,com) so I hope he found his answer.
