Gunsmith tool?

[rustyfordgarage]

  Got this a while ago.  I can't find a name or mark on it.   From the best I can tell, by the flat spring that is dovetailed in to the handle and the brown rust type finish,  I would say it was made by a skilled gunsmith.  I guess I just haven't read far enough through my pile of old gunsmithing books to know exactly what it does.  And who knows, maybe I am completely wrong?  Either way I like reading the ideas that come up here. Thanks in advance! 

Once again I forgot to put a scale in the pic.  Its about 5" overall length

I'm thinking more along the lines of a jewelers or watchmakers tool.

They are watch/clock hand tongs.

Thanks! Looks like its missing the clamp ring.  Found a video showing one being used  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXP8QSSQEAI

 yours look like a much earlier pair, perhaps it never had a ring. depended on hand pressure.
