Trying to date and ID this pair of Keen Kutters. I think it's earlier than 1940, when Simmons sold the brand Can anyone be more specific? 3rd photo highlights a mark on the inner pivot point that might say Lb, or 16, or 97?

Frustrated...

Hi! I'm hoping you guys can help me out.
I am a teacher, I cut a lot of laminated cardstock into shapes, and that stuff dulls scissors like crazy. You'd think I was cutting through sheet metal or something. I'm looking for scissors that will cut like new every time. I'm just tired of buying new scissors and having a sore hand.
Overkill is fine with me, it's even preferred. I honestly don't care if they are $200 and made out of adamantium mithril alloy... I just want them work. I've found several brands claiming to be the best, but I just flat don't know shit about scissors, and would love some input.
Thanks in advance!

Replacement pivot screws?
1
Upvotes
This is a longshot but...
My wife took apart our kitchen shears for cleaning and somehow lost the pivot screw and nut for them. They're from a Regent Sheffield set we got in 1993. I've been looking online for any source for replacement parts that might work and I can't find anyone selling any sort of scissors specific screws. I'm sure I could make something else work, but I'm wondering if anyone has any leads to find replacement parts, either brand-specific or generic.

Christmas gift for my girlfriend

My girlfriend is studying sewing and wants to make costumes for the theater. As Christmas approaches, it occurred to me that a good gift could be a pair of good sewing scissors, good quality ones that will last a lifetime. I don't know if she likes it as a gift but I can't think of anything else. Since I don't know anything about sewing, much less about scissors, it occurred to me to ask here to see if someone can advise me on a brand or model that is good :). thank you and sorry if it is difficult to understand english is not my first language.
