 Need a case Latch!

So I picked up a Buffet E11 and its got that standard Brown Case that E11's seem to come in
Unfortunately it's missing the top brass colored metal latch that swings down over the bottom piece on the bottom section of the Clarinet Case.
It still closes and can lock from the other side, but I would feel less nervous about carrying the case around if I could get that piece.
I could use a strap around it which would look stupid, or buy a new case, but just wanted to reach out to the Board and see if anyone might have this part lying around :(

Probably a luggage store will have what you need if no one here has an extra.

Lots of latches on Amazon but it's hard to buy just one and figure out the size:

Leather hobby shops generally carry a fair range of catches. If you can't get the part that you need buy a matched pair and replace them both. Also check out luggage repairers.

For the Prestige cases, locks are suplied by a company named Amiet.
Their website is Amiet.com
They do have resellers or if you find the lock you need on their website you can try to buy directly from them.
