Zipper problem on US jacket

[John The Hat]

I need a hand here folks. A client has sent us a vintage US made motorcycle jacket for repair / restoration. The problem is that she wants the front zipper replaced "like for like", and the zips are #10 (9mm or 3/8") brass Talon. The front one is 21" long and the chances of picking one up on this side of the Atlantic are a little...slim

So does anyone have one in a box somewhere ? I REALLY don't want to put an odd YKK or Riri in there. Sorry if this is out of order but one is a bit stuck.

Zips are this type...

No idea if this will ultimately prove helpful, but I believe Langlitz used a similar zipper at one time. I've heard of at least one instance where a customer requested a slider assembly of this type and they had old stock on hand (not sure about zippers). Maybe worth a try if nothing else works?

Happened across this one (same but wrong metal):
