Nice work! I applaud you.
I've encountered some similar forceps with locking-rings recently - in a book on the Casa del Chirurgo of Rimini (Ars medica. I ferri del mestiere). Marco recommended that work to me a while ago, and I finally got around to read it. If you read Italian, it might be worth checking it out; if you don't, the article by R. Jackson is also printed in the original English.
