I think with your skills, you would be able to fashion one, then have it hardened somewhere...? Just try some different things. For fine detail work- dremel works wonders with the right bits. Clamp the part in a vice, get out some magnifying work glasses, have at it.

Just some thoughts.

Send a big picture of your design on the fax machine. Tell em how big the finished size is. This one is 1/2"

Mine was $175.00 USD.

PS: Yes you can get some tool steel from McMaster-Carr and build yourself one. Check out Follks book, he shows many old armour marks.

Hal thanks for the info. That is out of my pricerange I was expecting more like 60 or 70 dollars though.
