Wierd pliers ?

[Royston]

Alan, funny that you should mention body parts because someone else suggested they could be for removing bullets or musket balls.

I agree that they look like a metalworkers tongs but very delicate compared with most smith's tongs.

I did show them to a farrier / smith who did not recognise them, but I suppose if they are from India they could have a specific purpose there.

Thanks gents.

Roy
