I figured I would share the pictures of my re-chromed handle. Sent it off to Spacecoast Plating & Metal Refinishing, Melbourne, FL. Paid $94.00 for shipping (both ways) and plating. Came out really nice. Had the lock cylinder re-keyed - $25.00 to $50.00. So, you could put $125 - $150 into it and have a nice/new peice. Took a while to find a used handle. All the re-keyed / decent hatch handles that I looked at were well over $200. Good luck!
