German Wire Cutters

I have a some German type wire cutters, these appear close to the WW2 types, but from the paint and handles I would guess post war/cold war period. Fritz, any info on the numbering? BGS period?

Hi Mate, don’t know much about the markings but ck Combi produced these items and I have sold a number of sets as authentic that are very similar. One set came direct from a verterans  family.

No idea, but I would guess at the style of the markings as post-war, sounds like a commercial make, although the cutters are military style. It looks like they have been overpainted with a hammerite type of paint. Possibly East German.
