This is a cool standard, FULLY FUNCTIONAL engineer issue wire cutter (often called barbed wire cutters) issued to the U.S. combat engineers during WWII. It’s a “parrot-beak” (or long-nosed) version of the cutters–which is apparently a little scarcer than the version without the feature–with the “beak” being useful for pulling fencing wire staples. Marked on the top jaw: U.S. / HKP 1944 “HKP” is an abbreviation for the H.K. Porter company, who made the cutters under a contract with the U.S. military. It is complete with the ORIGINAL PAPER PACKAGING. You hardly see this nowadays. Clearly an original set as-found (uncleained), can be cleaned by the buyer if desired.
Also used by the invasion forces, see attached photo during Normandy.
Great and rare 100% original item from WW2 in functional condition!
