Does anyone make chrome U Frame casting guides with gold rings?

I think American Tackle use to offer a hard chrome frame option with their colored zirconium rings but I no longer see these on their website now,just the TiChrome finish which is similar to the other brands' TiCH frame finishes.

Does anyone know if American Tackle or any other company still makes a gold ringed double foot guide with a chrome frame?

If not,does anyone out there have any of this "old stock"(chrome frame/gold ring casting guides) they would consider parting with?

I am looking for chrome framed double foot guides(either U frame or Model N frame) for use as stripper guides on fly rods that have hard chrome finish wire guides(like Snake Brand snake guides) as the running guides.I know that SIC rings are still available in certain models but I really like the added cosmetics of the gold zirconium(or similar) rings.The Model N Pac Bay guides with the Light TiCH finish and gold zirconium guides are close but they are a bit darker than I would prefer.

Other than paying a good bit for agate guides,are there any other options out there?

Thanks guys,
Tony

Bingham Enterprises has the GCCE which I believe are the ones you are looking for in sizes 10- on up.

Thank you-

AMTAK Titans with the Gold Rings aren't bad either, but not the glossy chrome you are looking for. They do look good together either way
