Old stock Fuji 50mm HH?

Fuji used to have a Hardloy BSVLG 50mmHH (high frame) availible.( Yes,they did,haveone, need another) Does anyone know if they still do, or have something the same size/height? Anglers Resource doesn't answer my queries.
If not that, does anyone out there have one NOS? I'd even look at one used if in good shape.

MARK: For some reason we have not received your inquiries. We have the last remaining BSVLG50's on the planet. Bought them all when Fuji discontinued them. They are not high frames however. As far as we know and according to past Fuji catalogs there is no H.

FYI, I have just discovered that at some point there was a 40HH in the SV frame. Could that be what your looking for?

Thanks for the reply Jim.
There was a high frame availible, I can foward a pic if desired. I bought them from Clemens (I think) many moons ago when I was building rods for others.They were a good height to use as a stripper on surf rods, it's what I use the one I have now for. They weren't popular though, because at the time 70mm wire guides were the "standard" and what people wanted.
I have a new blank I want one for, still hoping to find a builder with a NOS/used. I will look at what else is availible for a work around if I can't find one.

Let me know if you find one, I was under the impression that between Donnie and Carl they knew every guide ever made by Fuji...I'd love to show them something they'd never seen!!

I know the 40's were made in an ultra hight frame, but never saw a 50 in that frame. I believe it was a standard BSVLG50.

Me to guys use a lot of BHVLG40HH and the HVSG 40HH I reckon I know all the Fuji Guides and I have never seen a 50HH must be the BSVLG50 hes thinking of.

I have BSVLG 40'S, 50'S and BSVLG 40 HH guides here. The 50mm I'm refering to is higher than all of them, it's 92-3 mm to top of the frame. (difficult to measure on the rod). A 40mmHH is approx. 79-80mm tall; a 50mm regular frame is 82-3mm tall. The guide I have (and am looking for) is a high frame guide. The only other possibility is that it isn't Fugi,but it's the exact same frame, color, shock ring and ceramic in both color and finish. I can't see why any company any where would bother to counterfeit a guide that wasn't that popular to begin with. I can't see the Fuji stamp as they were stamped on the top of the foot ( Yes, yes, I know, always on the leg,but again, I have a 40 HH stamped the same way.)
I'm in the middle of a large project right now so I can't take pics right now- barely have time for this- but I will try to get them up this weekend, love to get more folks in on the search
