english/LP points screws and springs

I cant tell by looking on the leonpaul website so i'll ask any of you guys here, are the screws used in Leon paul GT points the same as the screws for german points? And are the springs the same as french springs? They both look sort of a like I just was wondering if they are interchangeable.

Yes and no. Both their Foils and their Epees use the same screw. They are the same size, but they use a class one fit. What this means is you can use a Leon Paul screw in a German or French tip, but once you do, you won't be able to use a German or French screw in the tip.

I keep Leon Paul screw for when the tips start to wear out and for Leon Paul tips.

Our newest screws are much better than the older ones as they are far harder.
Also you mentioned springs, ours are definately different to french/german ones.
