Serge,
I'm not sure how far you have gone down the path of pricing rechroming this part, but I believe you could do it cheaper than purchasing new. The smallest part that Joe referenced is $185 from Jamestown via Amazon. About a year ago, Tom Clark & I went in together to have a bunch of parts rechromed locally here in Seattle. My portion of the charge was $275, which included 2 complete bow light assemblies, a stern light stanchion & standoff, and several bow rail pieces. The quality was excellent. I'm guessing your Bow Bit could be rechromed for $100 or less, if you were above the shop minimum. In the case of the shop we used, the minimum charge was $100. I f you can find other parts you'd like to sparkle, or if you go together with someone else, you'd get above the minimum & make it most cost effective. Good Luck.
The bit seems to be made of brass with a chrome plating.It is an original part from the mid seventies suppliers from the Whaler factory.
There is no visible stamp or mark on any of the surfaces.
