We used to use a cutter like this to cut stock for horseshoes. I had one that fit in the hardy hole. The trick to them was getting JUST the right heat to cut. Not too hot but just cooled to a black heat. Somebody invented the nice cold shears that most shoers use today and they took the place of that tool,at least for farriers.

It looks like a simple shop-made alligator shear powered by hammer. I wouldn't be surprised if it is just mild steel. Looks like about a 30 minute job to make one up for testing. INTERESTING!

Here is the user of the tool (Niel, Belgium 09/2011):
