Does anybody know ANYTHING about these rare Broad Arrow marked, 1901 dated barbed wire cutters?
It seems that they weren't standard issue equipment and were probably carried by small numbers of scouts or cavalry to make way for cavalry charges. They were made by Herbert Plumpton of Warrington. The Broad Arrow is on the left hand side of the last picture. I haven't cleaned them properly yet so it's a bit tricky to see - but it's definitely there !! There seems to be no photos, descriptions or diagrams anywhere on the internet so I would really appreciate ANY information....
