A quick search on Ebay sold items show one that was drilled for a modern style mechanism (2 holes) and that got $400. That one had ok chrome.

I paid about that 20 years ago for an original slip in style that needed to be re-chromed and about 7 years ago, traded it straight up for a re chromed original with holes drilled for a modern mechanism.

You could buy the reproductions a few years back but the font looked different than the originals.

Yep, that is the reproduction one I mentioned.  Not sure what the pros/cons are to it but if it is anything like my AMD bumpers and other repop stuff, I would expect to be disappointed.

I have one, not installed yet, but it looks pretty good to me... :shruggy:

Are the reproduction ones as stiff as an original as in does it flex at all with the zig and zag part in the handle ?

It seems very rigid to me, but I haven't jerked on it yet.  :scratchchin:

Just buy one, and be happy.  :icon_smile_big:

NO, nothing wrong with repop stuff :smilielol:
