I got these pliers at the flea market the other day. The jaws are approximately 1/4" thick and there is a wire cutter notch in the jaws. It also appears that there was a wire spring to open them that is now missing. They are stamped U S and I figure they are military origin. My question is, does anyone have an idea what time period? And are they for a specific purpose or just general issue pliers?
Thanks! Bill D.
