Here's an old pair of pliers, probably dating to pre WW2 with very unusual handles with defined fingers and thumb grips. There are other Bruno Will pliers on ebay etc, none have this handle configuration.
The business seems to have passed on to Harry Will who after WW2 moved the business into West Germany (Harry Will history in a previous post here). Confusing to me is the fact that Bruno Will tools continued to exist, becoming Orbis Will in 1947 while Harry Will-labeled pliers also continued to be available, though they seemed to be the same company.
