Alloy Artifacts gives the information that after about 1900 they were made by the Keystone Manufacturing company of Buffalo and many are marked as such. A close look at the tool shows the Keystone name and address engraved or stamped into the body. Could this be early production- before the Keystone name was cast/forged into the handle?
Another one found locally.

Just thinking out loud.
If it's in Russia, and it's non-standard to what was available in the US, would it maybe be WW2 vintage? Something sent over with lend-lease tanks and equipment?
