Help identify these needlenose

[Doktor Schnell]

Hi,
I've had these needle nose pliers my whole life, and I'm sure they served someone well before me.
It looks like there used to be a stamp, but it has long since worn away. Anyone recognize the decorative marks on the handle, perhaps? Thanks!

Bridgeport?

 

[lbgradwell]

Kraeuter's probably a better guess...

there is a inscription on the inside of the handle...?

 

[Doktor Schnell]

It only says "forged steel". lbgradwell seems to have ID'd it, a quick google of Kraeuters showed more pliers with that diamond marking on them. Thank you!

It amazes me that these things are probably 60+ years old. I reach for these each time I need needlenose. Hopefully some of the tools I've purchased new will last that long! Thanks for your help!

I'm guessing Diamond, or diamalloy. I have 2 pair that are much newer and are great. They are out of business.

If they were smaller and lighter coloured I would say Michael Jackson Pliers.
