    Many thanks for everyone's thoughts. I spent the morning trawling the web and found a couple of interesting links. This one looks like a potential starter for ten - http://www.chimera-costumes.co.uk/shop/shop.php

    For those interested in Regency/Victorian stuff there are some useful links here - http://www.histrenact.co.uk/traders/...an/traders.php

    Those links looks as though they might be a source for a modern version especially the gilt ones as further research shows the originals to be brass.
