DML`s PE - Not quality detail. I will be easy click on some aftermarket PE & Resin at excellent website by tonight! I agree. Very thick and rigid material. From heat no becomes softer. In addition, the pattern on the inner side better. I turned them over, but thin strips had to do it myself. do not claim to be one hundred percent authentic   |

Thanks Jeremy, hope it's helpful! You're right about the PE...it's actually steel PE and extremely hard to work with vs. brass. You're better off replacing the screens with something else for sure. |

Off to a good start Jeremy. The Spielberger books are very nice references to have for sure...even if they tend to be a little pricey depending.
