What is it? Tool

I picked up this tool at a yard sale. I've looked everywhere I know to look and still can't find any info on what it is. I also took it to a Blacksmith convention with no luck. Some thought it might be a saw set while others said it couldn't be. The makers mark is mostly incompletely stamped but I can make out what looks like a deer. Like so many of my tools, I'ld like to know what it is so I can tell if I need it or not. I have pics on the web at www,coshatt.com/tool/tool.jpg Thanks for any help.

I don�t see any parts on this item that might be carbide. The little rod that looks like it functions as a depth gauge appears to be a piece of spring steel.

It's obviously of european origin. Notice the "1,5 mm" marking: not only is it in millimeters, but the one looks like a seven and the decimal point is a comma.

Could it be some kind of sheet metal tool?

It's a crimping tool.

The dial on the jaw is for centering the crimp position on the crimp clamp.

The knob on the handle adjusts the depth of the crimp dimple.

It's for round cable from the shape of the jaw design. Maybe for crimping wire rope or early solderless electrical connectors ?

If it was a saw set then the "tooth" would be narrow or if for a larger saw kerf tooth then the gauge would be futher back.

Most cutting on glass or tile requires a scored line so it will break cleanly. I don't see it with the lower jaw being a radius and split as it would crush the glass or tile.

Not a sheet metal tool as I've studied old time SM working methods and this would not be a useful SM tool. Split lower jaw and no depth on the gauge.

Since the lower jaw is split and has a radius it makes me think it was for relief for a dimple and something round.
