Seems we are getting hits from Germany , ok GJ members from over there how about it are we on the right track ?

I am going to guess that it is a strap cutter, which pulls the strap into the nibbler.
Very cool and odd tool.
I will be watching, to see what someone who knows has to say.

I will pass on this post to another member that will look into it further.

I doubt it's a nibbler of any type. I have nibblers and shears in a number of different styles, and none of them have jaws like that. That tool loks like it might have been made for puncturing some type of container, maybe for pressure relief. Alternately it might be some type of special crimper.

Do you have a piece of metal banding you could cut?
It just seems like tipping the tongue of the tool sideways, to slip it under the band, then twist it upright to nibble through it, would work well.
Perhaps you could get an idea of its purpose, through use?
As a nibbler, it does not make much sense, unless what it will nibble fits inside of the hooked end, because the hooked end cannot go in a slot which has not been nibbled yet.
I am still set on the strap/banding cutter idea. Try it! Try it!!
