Peter Eaton has mouthpieces listed on his web site http://www.eatonclarinets.freeserve.co.uk/. Original B&H mouthpieces for both 926s and 1010s appear relatively frequently on a well-known auction web site.
As I've said before, I use a standard Vandoren B45 very successfully on my 926s. Purists may argue that this shouldn't work but, in my case at least, the combination is very successful. The same is not true for 1010s; these really do need a large parallel bore mouthpiece. I had a B45 bored out and shortened to 1010 specification by Wood, Wind & Reed and am very pleased with the way it works.

As a professional player of Peter's Elite clarinet and previously Boosey 1010s whilst a student any mouthpiece can be bored, out but whether or not the mouthpiece retains the characteristics of the original bore design is a matter for the player.
I have a David Hite mouthpiece that has worked wonders for me for the past 8 years or so.

In terms of where you find the instruments, you do not say where you are located but you may want to look at some British sites like TW Howarth (a major London retailer of professional level instruments) which often has second had 1010s or Peter Eaton has his own website - I'm not sure whether he sells on the internet or not.
In terms of mouthpieces, as Peter has said you could get more or less any mouthpiece bored out to suit a wide bore instrument or there are a few manufacturers which make them - I play on a pair of 1010s and got a Michael Lomax mouthpiece for them a couple of years ago which was ready to go for a wide bore instrument (selected from a few I tried at Howarth's in London) and I'm very pleased with it.
Happy hunting.
Vanessa.
