I was betting these were sewing scissors and look what I found...more Washington & Lincoln sewing scissors but they are made by Krusius in Germany.  Really need to know more about what is on yours...can you get a magnifier and tell?  Also measurement/length of scissors.

I thought that was evident..i.e. Cologne 1919....i assume this will be the Cologne in Germany...
