Default shepherd's crook

Does anyone in Canada have an original shepherd's crook available for sale or short period loan? The carrier track adjusting wheel type, of course. Surely there must be an original sample in Canada? PM or e-mail is appreciated, with compliments.
M.

Default still looking for shepherd's crook

Thanks Rick, we have a copy of your file here. M.

However: I am looking to purchase, or borrow for the purpose of copying an original shepherd's crook from a Canadian location.

Default shepherd's crook

Is there such a thing as a Canadian made shepherd's crook? The item was a part of the tool inventory beyond the five thousand serial number range on the MKI* C01UC as well as the almost insignificant by quantity of the C21UCG models. Although the tool was made redundant and replaced with the "snail" type adjuster, does a Canadian made example of a shepherd's crook exist? If so, what does it look like and how is it marked or otherwise identified? By comparison, there are at least three variations of the track adjusting snail.

Many thanks to offers of original and reproduction samples from OZ, NZ, and UK. From Canada? The silence is deafening.
