Help request: Steel Scabbard former for 1854 pattern Brit sabre

I know it's a long shot but I know that some of these were floating around fairly recently.

I'm after the use of or exact dimensions of one of the steel scabbard mandrel to straighten and get the dents out of my brass 1854 pattern sabres scabbard.
If anyone has one and can help I'd appreciate it.
If you have one can you please contact me at:
thingamebobs@aol.com
If there is one in the UK, then ideally, I'd like to arrange a very brief borrow at my expense of course

I'd pay postage both ways and consider it a giri to return the favour ASAP.
Failing that, or even if its for a different scabbard I'd appreciate some pictures as I intend to get a piece of steel and grind one out if I have to (yeah, that'll be a lot of fun!).

Thanks
Gene
