      Go to a craft store and buy gold ribbon that is used for sewing, very good match.

        > Dollar Tree carries metallic foil wrapping paper that may not match, but looks cool.

        > I replaced the metallized vinyl(?) "foil" in a GFS "Gold Foil" with copper mesh, solder-tacked to the cover.
        I got the mesh from my POSSLQ's dad's workshop, but here's a source:

          I just bought some stamped brass hoping it'd work but it was, unfortunately, way too thick.

            I'd like to revive this discussion, because I'm having a hard time finding a match for classic Teisco or DeArmond foils, and as much as some of the above methods look good, it's hard to pass off as authentic. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
