Smle wire cutters - original ?

Or he could say leave that useless thing back with the transport
Remember if you give three steel balls to a squaddie and lock him in a room,at the end of an hour,
1. he will have lost one
2. lent one to his mate
3. broken one

You're missing the important point John. They were withdrawn because the idea was good but the practice was flawed. Nothing else.

I think, IIRC, the dealer is French & his wife is Vietnamese, hence his advantageous position in getting stuff made out there. He does a wide range of repro mounts although most of it is Nazi K98 based. I have dealt with him in the past & interestingly he was most keen to try to extract an original wire BREAKER from me when I was talking to him at a French show a year or so back............I wonder why??!!??

Well I wouldn't mind a repro wire breaker since they are such a rare item. I suppose most of them were scrapped.
HOWEVER, Roger if you have an extra one just gathering dust in your spares box.........

John, if I get bored with it you'll be the first to know!

I somehow get the idea that you are not easily bored
