  Hi Mike, what is your suggestion on what or who to go to the get decent clamps. I looked in the search part of the forum for your last post on this but to no avail. Thanks Ken How much do charge for autographed copies?

  Hey Ken, In my opinion the reproduction clamps are poorly reproduced regardless of who you may choose to purchase them from.
The original clamps were plated either with zinc or cadmium and as such were much more "dull" in appearance to the repops.
I am not certain where you might find GOOD reproductions. On occasion, NOS become available.
Sorry i can;t give you 'good news" this time.

Kind regards,
Mike
