German Bakelite Photo Edge Cutter Ising

Original photo trimmer made from Bakelite. Made by Ising Bergneustadt Germany (this same company made optics and tripods for the Wehrmacht during the war). This is what puts the patterned edge on original photos. It is in overall good condition with some wear. The clear window is slightly yellowed. There are a few rust specks.To operate it, a little sideways pressure helps make a clean cut, just like most modern paper cutters. This could really take your reenacting photos to a new level. I have owned this exact paper cutter with DRP markings, so I know this style was being produced before the war but I am not entirely sure when this one was made. It is most likely pre war, but I can't entirely rule out it possibly being post war.
