CTC4 emblems needed

I noticed today that I am going to need a couple of emblems for my CTC4 restoration.

The "V" chevron located below the "RCA" emblem on the front of the cabinet, located right below the screen, is missing.

I also need the "Deluxe" emblem that was located under the pencile box on the right side of the set.

I have the capability of making a mold from an original, and casting and then brass plating a knockoff of an original if I can get hold of original parts to duplicate.

The process of making the mold is non-destructive and will not harm the original part. So if someone could loan me originals I could duplicate them if nobody has a parts set that these could be obtained from.

I work for a company that manufactures cast metal products, in a process which uses a centrifugal casting method in vulcanized rubber molds. I can duplicate many types of small parts. I have even duplicated a missing knob from time to time and painted them the correct shade of brown to match the existing knob, when a replacement could not be found.

I also have the capability to make RTV silicon rubber molds from an original part and cast plastic parts out of structural epoxy. But this method is more costly.

If anyone ever needs to duplicate a small part and has an original to make a mold from, I would be happy to help out for just the cost of the materials.

Thanks in advance for your help.
