Odd little double switch

I found this one on a buy it now on eBay. Cracked ice celluloid handles. Both blades are switch blades operated by little brass catches on the end. Reminds me of the schrade pullball release. Lobster pattern? I cannot make out the tang stamp. Any ideas who made it?

I recently found one of those as well. Cant read the tang stamp..English probably for sure. The springs inside the liners are unique . Cheers

Those two are the first I've seen made that way. It's a cool little knife.

Most of those are German. Some are Italian.

Yours is most likely made by Broch in Germany. Here are others by the same company.

These ones are usually Italian made.
