Antique 19th C Hand Wrought IRON Scissors SIGNED Shears SEWING Blacksmith

This is a very nice pair of early or older iron or cast steel scissors or shears. They are most likely circa 19th C hand-forged iron which is signed with a maker's mark.  It is very difficult to make out but it is there right above the hand-forged screw.  They measure approx 8'' long x 2" wide at the finger loop end. They do cut but they probably would need sharpened.  We tried them on paper and you have to place the scissors at the deepest end of the blades and cut from there.
