Not interested in risking it or chasing somebody to get the original back. The last part I allowed a company to "borrow" took more than a year of frequent reminders to get back and then the "copy" didn't have any of the details the original did. I know of people that have had to retain a lawyer and start legal proceedings to get their originals back. Original samples have gone missing in action and never found again, at least the borrower's didn't admit finding them.

One of the 'SHELBY AC COBRA' reproductions was based on a casting a master off an original but like a copy of a copy of a facsimile each casting step blurred details. The originals have some fine art that would probably require a pattern maker to use an original to recreate the art.
