unfortunately, no one has made any of those in decades. The club had some but been out of stock forever. Not a hard thing to make on your own since you have at least one good to use as a pattern. A little bit of brass folded over a mould, I carved mine out of wood and then solder the tip and send it out to chrome. Some guy in Texas about 15-20 years ago made his out of Stainless, lots more work to bend without wrinkles but that avoids the chrome step.

I silver soldered mine when I did since I didnt know if the Chrome step would damage the solder but I think that was unnecessary

I was once told by a chrome plating shop that you can't plate over soft solder but I have recently used lead-free solder as 'filler' without any problem. I would still use silver solder for strength, though.
