BioQuip curved forceps

[Michael Gochfeld]

Try surgical supply catalogues or perhaps even surgical supply stores..
Also at some permanent fleamarkets there are vendors with huge supplies of
delightful little tools for hobbyists (including 2 foot long forceps).

There was a Herp supply vendor at a recent fair who had a great selection of
forceps and related instruments.

Six inch curved forceps are fairly standard surgical instruments (but I
don't know how it relates to the ones you lost).
