Default Who makes custom bound archtop pickguards

I'm actually looking for a replica of a particular old mandolin pickguard, but the basic idea is similar to many old archtop guitar guards - tortoise plastic with a single layer of binding. I tried Fox Guitars and Cumberland Acoustics, neither of which responded to my emails. And no, I do not have the tools or the skill to do this myself. Is there anyone else out there?

I bought a nice one from Fox Guitars last year for a Gibson Byrdland. I'd try them again.
