ISO Shimano turkey lever(s)
I have two left side Shimano levers of this style, and would like to find either an orphan right side or a reasonably priced pair.
The distinctive features I'm looking for are the one-piece construction on the inside (slotted screw on the other side) and the turkey lever that actually looks kind of like a wing-bone. I've looked around locally but can't find anything.
Thanks in advance!

I have thrown out plenty of those. I never thought that someone would ever want them.

I was somewhat surprised to see a pair listed as Dura-Ace. I don't do business with the Bay of Evil, but if the lister wants to PM me I would buy them at that price.

I'm sad that nobody else is amused by Dura-Ace turkey levers. I guess I will just have to do this iteration of the build with mismatched levers.

I have an orphan right side one but it's in rough shape. Dura ace branded. Road rash and lever a bit bent. Yours for price of shipping if you want it.

Thanks, but after spending several hours on a very deep dive at the local co-op and then modifying and assembling some parts, I have a pretty close match.
