    European source for Sigla front windscreen?

    Hi everybody, already looking for a while for a correct Sigla front windscreen for a october 65 build, 66 modelyear SWB.

    It is quite hard to find, I know Sierra Madre carries one but the markings don't look correct for an early SWB in my opinion.
    Also shipping something this bulky and fragile would be a pain.

    Does anyone know an European source for a correct windscreen?
    I have contacted a few suppliers in Germany, France and Great Brittain but no luck.

    Any leads? Thanks in advance!

    No source but I am having the masks made for the correct Sigla logo and will apply it to a screen I got from van Kessel. Just need to figure out how to remove the current black logo

    I understand that the logo versions cost about $500 more than new glass with no logo.
    Stoddards and Sierra Madre have them.
    I would be interested to go in on the correct logo film if available
    Thanks

    I got it through Differs in NL. https://www.differsgroup.nl/en/about/. They split off from TwinSpark. Great group. Working with them on my current build. Depends on exchange rate, but was about €500. Can contact Leon or Joost at Differs.

    That sounds very interesting! Please keep me/us posted.
    The current black logo can be (easily) polished off, I have all my remaining glass polished and the carefully masked off the logo's to prevent them from being polished off.

    That is very cool! Question is how correct is this logo? For instance the made in west-germany part is missing..
    On the other hand it is a real sigla screen/logo..
