I can send you a fabric sample that was included in his records if you'd like along with the name of the place that he got it.
Are you sure the stars were woven in and not printed on? The '55 Clipper I am familiar with, although not a Constellation, sported the stars on the blue fabric. I believe they were just a darker blue than the rest of the fabric, and printed on. This might make a repro a bit less expensive.
If you post a pic of the piece of original fabric, some sharp-eyed fabric guy can probably tell if they're sewn or printed... I'm not an expert!
