Repro postwar nametapes?

Does anyone make the type of postwar nametape they used to sew onto MA-1s, LSs and the like?
They'd be a little bigger than the WW2 ones, but in black leather and printed in silver lettering (just the name, not with wings). I'm hoping someone can make one. can't find an example, but I bet several of you know what I'm talking about...

Maybe I'm not describing this well enough.
This is on a Buzz Rickson but this is the type I'm talking about as I couldn't find an original example online:

MASH Japan do them. And some eBay vendors.
While I appreciated the MASH listing (though it's not the one I want, I had no clue they made them at all), 'some eBay vendors' doesn't help me at all. Which ones? Names or links? I did a search on eBay (and the internet in general) and nothing like this popped up.

Spoon feeding was a skill I let fade when the kids turned around three.... ;)

Meanwhile, passive-agressiveness seems to be a skill you have held onto, though.
I had already written I did a search of eBay and Google with no results, otherwise I wouldn't have asked.
"Look it up online," isn't an answer, as it's pretty much the same as answering someone asking about something they couldn't find from looking, by saying, "look it up".
:rolleyes:
I assumed that if anyone might know where to find something like this, it'd be here.

There are many here who don't realise the search function exists.

You were happy to take on board what MASH Co. can provide.


Did you email Sean? He did silver and gold for a time.

After almost 25 years on VLJ still happy to answer the same questions.

Why the preference for the silver name tape. BR do take liberties with their patched offerings.
