Did Mauser ever make a sporterized butt plate with either the banner...

...or will this be a custom feature for an engraver?? I'm in need of a butt plate for my project and NECG has a blank for $213.00 eek

I'm tentatively planning on having one color case hardened and I might have some oak leaves engraved at the top and bottom of the plate depending on how much I have to spend on a good two-screw butt plate.

I'd appreciate any sources/suggestions for either a plain (new or old) or old sporter butt plate without any corrosion/dings.
