Jeff,

This is really old school .... but if nothing else is a solution, the old sand cast method will pick up the delicate indentations on the face plate. Check with a metal fabricator. It may cost you a few bucks, but is worth it considering the set you found. 3D printers vary in quality, but you can get a very good reproduction.

You have found a very rare, beautiful set, if it were mine, I would duplicate as best as possible, but I would never be satisfied knowing it was not the original until the originals were found. Wish you the best and will monitor this tread to see your progress.
