Not sure where I got these but they are scissors with a case that has a ruler on the side. One side is missing something, maybe another pair of scissors? The handles are Brass I think, and have 3333 stamped on both sides. I'm looking for any info on these.

Hi! It`s a desk set of british colonial administrator. Previously used as a kind of armor, but now produced in India as souvenir. In our museum we have three desk sets like that. You can read about it here (Google Translate): http://muzei-nozhnic.ru/pismennyj-pribor-kolonialnogo-chinovnika-rekonstrukciya/
I hope, it was useful.

So it did have another pair of scissors on the other end? Thanks for the info, very helpful.

On the other end it was always a letter opener (dagger scissors).
