I noticed a very similar plaster cast cutter in images on Bing.com.  There does seem to be TWO types - one is a shear and the other, like yours, is a cutter, where the teeth are surrounded .
The image search led to this site; kmsurgico.com; scroll down about 2/3 thru the page -watch for those big handles:

PFSchaffner - there is a at least one on line reproduction of a Victorian era surgical tool catalogue - it may be French - I cannot remember where I saw it, it may have been on the Outils Anciens site...

Just done a quick search, and found this one: https://archive.org/details/catalogueofsurgi00down
