I bought a couple of those black reproduction lids when the aftermarket still supported those. They were virtually spot on as far as texture, heaviness, and feel. Only thing I didn't care for was that it seemed to be a tad bit warped. Maybe that would have calmed down if mounted it to a plate, I don't know. Came in black and you just painted to match if it wasn't black. I wonder what ever happened to those. I can't seem to find those anywhere now.
Here's a comparison between an NOS Dark Claret (left) and a repro lid I did.
