Does anyone know about those manual hair trimmers? Squeeze kind but like an electric.... Brand is Solingen, Model might be Romo?

You mean manual hair clippers like these ?
Pictured is my own vintage "Horstator" model made by German manufacturer Hörster in the '50's or '60's from the 20th century.

Yes, slightly different but same idea. Is it possible to sharpen them? I could maybe use them on beard hairs!
I see made in Solingen, so maybe Romo is the brand....
 
Sure you can sharpen them, for instance on a perfectly flat (ceramic) stone or on wet & dry SiC paper used with WD40 oil on a piece of glass (my own preferred method)
These old school clippers do very well on beard hairs, and where i live are actually making a comeback in barbershops.
