Those were the old ones. I debated about buying repros, but thought there was an outside chance that with a little heat from a torch and a lot of soft touches from a body hammer & dolly I could get them back together.

So after about 30 minute each and an untold number of taps they looked pretty good. I silver solder a crack or two and sent them off for chrome plating. Don't know how much copper they used, but it must have taken a bit to fill the pits.

One of them has a small area that could be better, but it isn't big enough to see unless you get within a foot or so.
