These shears measure 14-3/4 inches long. Steel with brass fitting and black enamel on handle portion. Enamel is chipped and worn. Please study photos as part of the description. Only the tiniest smudge of light surface rust. The design appears to be like R. Heinisch company, but the only mark is a tiny etched number "9" or "6" inside the handle when opened. Very heavy with no chips on blades.
