I've never seen that one. :roll: And I've seen a lot. :P

The back edge looks a lot like R&H A78 combined with A145. Perhaps if you spoke to them nicely they could get you some milled up.
You may have to take a minimum amount, but you might avoid tooling costs if the knives for parts of the profile are already made.

I'm as near certain as I can be that is a Mounding from "Hand Finished Mouldings" which was a company based in Sussex )possibly kent), but I'm pretty sure it was Sussex. The man who ran the conpany was a rep. who I think originally worked for Euro Mouldings . Sadly he died and that also was the end of Hand finished mouldings.

All his mouldings were custom designed and were made from tooling held by Norfolk Moulldings. At least some of his mouldings were designed to be made up from two mouldings stacked togther and if they were designed to seamlessly fit together, it may not be obvious that it's not just the one moullding, but two stacked together.

Norfolk Mouldings, will machine anything you want from there existing tooling, so I suggest that you contact them. If they cannot help you then the only other possibility would probably be Unique Monldings in Scotland.
