Location: New Castle PA		Ralf, before you go to great trouble, these are already in the process of being reproduced. I had an NOS one, and it has been scanned, digitized, and 3D printed in plastic (which can be vacuum plated). We are now looking into 3D printing them in stainless. I haven't posted anything about the project here because they are not ready at this time, but are underway. I have no idea of the price, but the quality and fitting should be awesome since they are based on a mint NOS one. I'm not trying to stop you from doing your own project, but wanted you to know about ours...

Location: Finland		It will be really interesting to see their pricing....the plastic one might be affordable but in stainless? Isn`t it still going to require a sanding and polishing process on top?
Plastic would`t feel right but this is just my opinion..

Location: Finland		Better picture..I have 5 pieces ready to ship. One pair of these were made of 3mm stainless the rest of 2mm. 3mm too tough to work with.
