You're simply taking a Prinz or Showgard back-opening mount and turning it into two, top-opening, Hawid-type mounts. In fact, this is the only use I make of old Showgard mounts - I find them too fiddly to use in their normal state.
Agree.
I cut Showgards all the time to double my stock.
I employ the Fiskar Titanium cutter, slices guards in half in a jiffy,
cuts stamps whilst they are in the mount, and unlike a guillotine, no curling at all.
If one is a "used" stamp collector, the "open top" Hawids are brilliant, in being able to "update" stamps when better examples come along, just "slip 'em in" with the exchange.
