Wow - Nice - wonder how long that has been on the market?

I think not so long, or even they are released just now - I am hunting (actually "I was", in such case) for some used handles, to have a spare due to a known problem of breaking. And I just have got the notification from Ebay today, about those.

Used handles was very often on Ebay for something like $100, but I was lucky to get some for $35-$50 price range. However, I could pay $120 for a new one, like for the repro above.

Doug Seybold of Cleveland, Ohio was producing reproduction handles and I guess he still is.  They are improved and will not break. They don't come with the face plate so you have to re-chrome that and then reassemble.
