I dropped $250 for left and right repro door handles from Pelican. I opened the 1st one and found indentions where the tabs are welded to the pull plate. Poor quality manufacturing. I opened the 2nd handle to find it scratched down the center of the pull flap. Rather than hassle with the return, I got out the Turtle Wax white chrome polish and a micro polishing towel and started rubbing. In a matter of seconds I saw the copper base showing through. I was really bummed out. I am going to return the 1st one and I will have to look at my $125 mess. Just passing on my experience.
