Hey Barry,
You could invest in a 3D scanner or find someone who can scan the part for you. If your any good at modelling with CAD then you could take pictures at different sides and create a model. To look for people who can scan the part, use 3D hubs, enter your location and apply a filter for 3D scan. Then find a nearby location, by setting the results to distance rather than best match.
Hope this helps. Just ask if you have any questions.
Barry find a hub nearby that can also scan and print, this is the fastest way to reproduce

Hey Barry
I can reproduce an object in several ways:
- 3D scan the object and print the object.(unlimited when you have the 3D data)
- Make a silicone mold and make a polyurthane copy (multiple with one mold)
- Redraw the object in 3D cad en print.
can you tell more about the object, detail and size ?
an image would be even better.
I am located in Leiden, not so far away 
Where can I find somebody that can do a 3D scan? Also, where is “not so far away” Leiden?

Hey Barry,
If you click the red button at the top of the page that reads 3D PRINT, just before area 3, above the text ‘Select a 3D hub’ there is a button for more filters. Click this and click the filter for 3D scanner. To order the results to find something close just click sort by distance rather than best match. This orders the results from the closest to the set area in the text box, so make sure the location is correct.
If you have further questions feel free to ask.
