Title: iron pliers with semi-tubular jaws

Appears to be missing a spring, and a catch. But other than that I haven't got a clue.

It does resemble a lot of the animal/hog restraining tools out there.

But it can be something else.

I have had a few of those.  I think it is a type hog snouter, used to cut the hogs snouts to make them tender so that they will not root.
