Default External door handles

I'd be grateful for advice and identification of these two door handles that were sold to me some time ago from the US as suitable for a 1929 Roadster.

Well, I don't think they're right for that car.

The closest I can match them to is the 28/29 Coupe or Tudor (although from catalogue pictures I can't see any difference to the later years 30/31).

The way the light catches the catalogue pictures, the face of a handle appears 'fluted'.

These handles have been very nicely buffed and polished with just a few residual pits that seem to suggest they are authentic and weathered. They have a very solid feel to them.

I'll bring them with me to Texas in mid-December and eBay them if I can get accurate ID for them.

They appear identical to those on my 1930 coupe.

What you have are a Chinese attempt to reproduce a Model A door handle. Unfortunately, they are not even close to original door handles.
