Repros are readily available, from many sources. Wooden models are harder to find, but available, depending on what style you like. Google will find them.

The one Joe sells in not-gold is chrome plated, not nickel-plated. Tailpieces like these on pre-1965 Gibson archtops were nickel-plated.

Some recent Gibson re-issue or vintage-style archtops use nickel-plated versions, including reissue '59 ES-175 models, Bozeman L-7C models, and so forth. My guess is that these tailpieces are probably made by by Advanced Plating.
