Saying............. that you want hinges, except you want original?
Only you know they are hard to get. (and they are)
  And you don't want to pay a professional blacksmith a high price to 
make you some.
  But you don't want to do any metalwork?

   Somethin' has got to give. Nobody gets to ask so much and get away 
with it.

     You are either going to have to pay a high price for originals
     or
    Pay a high price for custom
     or
  break down and do some simple metalwork!

       Cause you can't have it all you know.
What did you think this was, the internet?  heeheheheheeheh

    Ordinary 6" gate T-hinges are easy to get. Probably even the 
precious Chinese warehouse store. ugh
       Get a couple pair and soak them in mild acid to take off the 
zinc, so they don't look new new new
       Then make a paper template (trace around the hinge) and draw your 
decorative pattern. You will have to make one up to fit the occasion, so 
make it cool.    Start with a centerline and go from there.
   Zerox the pattern 4 times. Cut them out and glue them to your hinges.

     Remove all the metal that the template does not cover, with big 
files followed by smaller files.
       Sand the hinges clean down though a couple/three grits, and then 
use gunsmiths cold blue solution until you get a nice even "dark gray" 
(cold blue)

  You'll be done in a few hours.
              yours Scott
