    Gold Pat pend saddles anywhere?

    Anyone know of any good source for these? Aged not an issue, but would consider if done well. I remember seeing some on ebay a while back, but none recently.

    Cheers guys!

    I've only seen repros in nickel.

    They could be re-plated in gold though.

    I've got a Blond '54 Strat clone with gold parts. A set of Gold Pat Pend saddles would be the finishing touch as all the other parts are period or replacement correct. I'd buy a set of nickle ones and have them replated in gold.

    I've noticed that the Pat Pend stamping on the saddles sold by Retrospec look a lot neater than the CrazyParts ones, where the stamping looks somewhat sloppy. I'm looking forward to Retrospec getting the nickle ones back in stock. I always thought they came from the same source as the ones CrazyParts sells, in Europe.

    I've had small parts gold plated before with a local metal plating service, not a big deal and not very expensive.
