Hans Brentrup built in that style, but is no longer building. He made his own purflings. You could check his website.

You should contact Neil Harpe. He's one of the experts on Stella guitars.

Image below is a Fraulini Francesca Leadbelly - Stella Copy..Still no guarantee it is 100% as the orginal...But would imagine he went to great lengths to try and copy the original.
Have you google imaged Leadbelly?
