    About how long are these and how wide? And is the one on the left missing a third pin like the right has? And is the inner flat surface sharpened or blunt edged?

    They look like leg braces to me.

    smoothy, I just have the pictures to go by, I think the one on the left is a smaller version. I'll find out the measurements.

    Very rough measurements are fine... trying to judge how big they are to help think of what purpose they may have surved.

    Altenweg they were found in your country.

    Look like they have a radiused cut to hang on a pipe. Old clothers dryer?

    Here's a description. 6" wide x 18" long, the metal piece is raised about 3" higher than the rest of the tool. Nothing appears broke or missing. Maybe associated with logging.

    ma0641, small for that I think, maybe the radius for de-barking? Hmm

    Scrapers for defleshing animal skins? Obvious takes two hands to operate... too small for a foot and a hand.
