I have not seen a Norris instrument maker's vise before. These are the seller's photos from a Ebay UK auction - Norris Instrument Maker's Vice | eBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Norris-Instrument-Makers-Vice-/350492528024?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item519afb8d98)
Eclipse made a beautiful instrument maker's vise but like their old hacksaws, the frame is often bent on those that appear on Ebay. The little Norris looks quite substantial. It appears to be a simple design and one that could be replicated without too much difficulty if the need for such a thing arose.
