BAB pliers? (W. Germany)

[nmantas]

Whenever I get an odd tool I'm always quick to search garage journal and the net for it just to satisfy my curiosity. This one has me stumped. I bought a vintage West German small electricians crimper from a garage sale (would have been awesome when I worked on arcades) and can't find any info on it. I don't know if BAB was the German company or an American company that sourced the pliers from West Germany. Anyone have any insight?

Are those stripping holes near the end? Looks like a useful design. Needlenose and crimping is a cool combo.
