    I have a few other contacts at home. I will check tonight. I talked to several small companies from Germany a few years ago about doing some custom work in slight volume for me. I will check my notes and report back.

    There is contact info for a custom frame maker (Robi Horn). I have removed the link that I posted and suggest that you remove it as well.
