Butt Plate for a Pre-64 Model 70 Westerner?

I have a Pre-64 Model 70 Winchester Westerner that is mint in every way, except for the butt plate. The previous owner left the stock intact and uncut, but added an aftermarket rubber recoil pad. I'd like to return the rifle to stock condition by replacing the recoil pad with an original plastic butt plate. Does anyone know where I can find one? I haven't seen one for auction on Gunbroker or E-Bay. Actually, I'd prefer to just buy one from a reputable dealer. Numrich seems to carry only the steel butt plates with the indentation at the heel. Any other sources or ideas?

    -Vintage Grips sells reproduction buttplates that are cloned by making molds from original, mint-condition originals.

    Both Brownells and Midway USA sell a very limited range of Vintage's products. However, Vintage has a huge selection of buttplates and grips and will sell to you direct from their website. This might do you until you find an original you like:

    I have several different older Winchester buttplates. Need to know the length, width, and hole spacing to see if I have one. Or do you know. Are they the same as the model 70 or the same as the 670?
