WTB: GB Super Hood or Arret Brake Levers

Looking for 1950s-60s GB Super Hood or Arret model brake levers to fit my '50s era GB Sport Mk 3 brakes, which I'm planning on using for my Armstrong Consort build.

Request shipping to Canada

Thanks.

Found these and I am sure I still have some GB levers and will keep looking.
These are from the early 60's I think these and probably NOT what you want.
I will continue my search

I took more pictures but won't post those.
PM me if you want to view.
Anodized. slight scuff marks on the outside of the left lever.

Thanks OTS! These are cool, not quite was I'm after. If the bike wasn't green I'd be all over them.

Thanks for searching, much appreciated.

5 minutes more-or-less in a bath of NaOH (lye) will get rid of that colour.

I am not sure, since I have re-discovered these, I am contemplating using them on an acquired 60's Dunelt Fleur-De-Lys.
Get your post count up and we can discuss via PM.
