At the risk of a small thread hijack, has anyone come up with an alternative handle to use with the spoons?
I have spoons but no handles.

I have spoons but no handles.
Easy enough to disassemble and restore
The challenge is finding a handle that will fit through the narrow gap in the spoon. Lada handles from Niva?/Riva? are quite close to the look but too wide for the gap in the spoon. Some handles fitted to 70s Fiats will fit through the hole but IIRC were more of hoop shape. I did get quite a long way with this and then a pair of 850 handles popped up so project was abandoned. that said there is a pair on ebay at the moment 71 FIAT 850 DOOR HANDLE INSIDE RH SPIDER CONVERTIBLE VINTAGE OLD 1 9375 | eBay, and 71 FIAT 850 CONVERTIBLE SPIDER DOOR HANDLE INSIDE DRIVERS OLD VINTAGE 9389 | eBay
.... Ok so that two pairs
Or just buy a full set from Gerry?

Justin, I have a spare door handle assembly in storage which I stripped with the aim of trying to repair the corroded horizontal ridges on the lever part but I got bored with that ! PM me if interested.
