The real question is, how hard is that carpet that it broke metal clippers?
Indeed, must be that the metal was weakened from before.. The carpet as such is not hard but pretty thin, so it's not soft...

Great info from many of you!

I will go on the coming Saturday to a town called Mons, where finally finally finally, the place which usually kicks-off the Belgian plastic model exhibition season.

I will check if I find a new pair from there and if I'm really lucky, DSPIAE might have their salespoint with hopefully some good expo prices!
But I would be happy if I find precisely the same ones.

Man, you are hitting history! I’ve been re-reading Spearhead...they fought at Mons and several actions In Cologne up to the Rhine..around the Cathedral!
