Strange Plier #1

[picard]

Hello,
I have couple strange (at least for me) pliers. I don't know nothing about so please help me to identify them; any info will be appreciated.
(An other question I have is if is ok to open a topic for each plier or to add all of them here)
Thank you!
First one

How long are they? They look like dehorners, maybe for goats?

It is about 30 cm long
It has detachable blades fir cutting as shown in the photo.

Post close-up photos of the markings on the handles. The marking on the right looks like script initials. The marking on the left looks like a logo. Hard to tell, but it resembles an Ordnance Dept bomb logo. Probably not. If that were the case, there'd be a big "U.S." with serifs on it somewhere. But the logo, whatever it is, might help identify it.

I found two very hard to see and read markings.
The word seem to start with Da...

Pretty sure that’s Elf writing….but seriously, the Wife thinks possibly for removing something (tail or other) from sheep or goats…

Not the Ordnance bomb logo. Could it be a ranch symbol? Does that say Caleb?

Caleb? Laleb? It's quite possible it's a veterinary tool. Maybe not. After two days of picking through "hog tamers" and "pig forceps" nothing would surprise me. I don't recognize the script or the logo, but the script makes me think European for some reason.

 

[picard]

I don't know why you are saing it is European but you are 99,99% right.

^ because the script looks more European than it does American. where are you located? you don't have your location on your avatar.

I am locared in Europe - Romania.

A good site for tracking down vintage European marks is here. English French and German versions. I am being a coward and picking English for the link. If you can decipher a word or two, or a shape, he might have it. Mostly Woodworking, and mostly vintage, so may be outside his of interest.

Markensuche

Putting in Da* brings up David Kotthaus, which looks kinda similar.

Leading with that info would be important next time.
