Hey Professor,
I have poured bronze once. A friend and I made a bronze sword and spear head.  It was a process to be sure.  And even with a relatively simple mold, there were imperfections and lots of finishing.  I am guessing it would be easier to find someone who can machine it out of bronze. 

I have read about detailed computer driving machine works.   I think it would be great to get the details of some of these interesting old pieces and input them into an instrument like that.   

now, where did I put that powerball ticket?

Really innovative shooter.  That would be a great piece to have in the collection.
