Even if (and it's a big IF) you found one - chances are it would not fit your spindle. Remember locks of this vintage are largely hand made and as such can vary a lot of example to example.

So - your best best is going to be making one / having one made. Not a difficult (albeit time consuming and fiddly) job for a competent machinist.

Hi Dean:

Keith Rucker has a series of videos on youtube where he casts his own dial and ring for a safe rebuild quite interesting to watch if you're into casting and machining. here's a link to part one of the series.
