Found these scissors at my colonial site. They look hand forged, especially the handle. Is it hand forged?

Probably hand forged. What would be the alternative? Forged by . . . ? Hinged scissors were almost unkown until the time of the French & Indian War (one-piece shears were the norm). Possibly yours are very early and of the colonial era.
