WANTED WTB: Pre-Facelift Trunk Handle

As the title states, I'm looking for a pre-facelift (or is it trunk-lift in this case?) trunk handle which should be part number 1247500193. ​If anyone has one in good condition they want to get rid of, please let me know! Thanks.
 
Is yours cracked? If so look for a replacement from an earlier car, as in 86-89. The earlier ones are made completely of rubber or plastic. Later ones are made of metal coated in that material. The metal and plastic expand and contract at different rates which causes them to crack. I went through 2-3 of them before I realized this and switched to an earlier part. I haven't had it crack again in 2 years. They do seem a little more porous than the nice smooth updated ones, but if you keep a good coat of conditioner on it it will stay nice. I'd rather not take out all of those little tiny screws again.
 
Yep, mine cracked at one of the imbedded studs which allowed the stud and nut to rust and seize. Thanks for the recommendation; I'll try to locate one!
