My eyes, my eyes...Marty looks like you better bone up on your Swedish language skills, because the last word looks like Sweden???
Yup my eyes are shot and I am holding out a bit longer till I get glasses. I did see Sweden but before it is jumble.

E A Berg Eskilstuna Sweden.
E A Berg was noted for the quality of their pliers, and chisels. The company was later merged with AB Bahco, who consolidated their manufacturing to Eskilstuna, where the E A Berg factory was located.
They should be very high quality pliers. Bahco was and still is known for the quality of their chisels and pliers.
Bahco is now owned by Snap-On, although most of the manufacturing has been moved to other parts of Europe outside Sweden.

Lord I love this site I am learning something new everyday! 
Thanks so much for the ID. I have come across some Erik Antonberg chisels in the past and was able to ID them from the shark stamp. The link you provided was a very informative read.

I found a set of Berg wood chisels at a local sale-I had to get off a little cash but I didn't argue too much as I had already gotten a couple of good deals-Best chisels I own-not too hard to sharpen and they really hold their edge-I/we get a little too focused on American made sometimes-there are some great tools out there!
