Here’s one for sale on the auction site. Maybe you could make him an offer? Originals don’t come up too often. I have no connection to the seller....

I looked at that grill on eBay, the price seemed really high considering the condition. I have three originals in my early MBs, two are in near mint condition. For what it's worth, I've gone over the reproduction grills with a fine tooth comb and I can't tell the difference, other than the repros lack the bent bars.

Some repro's have caged nuts, which originals don't have. But there are very good repro's available too.

Yes, the eBay one is pricey but I thought the OP could make the seller a reasonable offer since it won’t ever sell for that price. Just trying to help....
