As above, I’m looking for a good pair of 3000M MK2 Cortina exterior door handles with a locking key. Must be in good nick or cheap enough so I can get them Chromed.

Having sold lots of NOS door handles, what do you call cheap?

I very much doubt you will find cheap used that won't look like the surface of the moon after being chromed, I tried it with Corsair ones, ended up looking for NOS.

"New Old Stock"

Brand new period parts that have been in storage since they were made in-period.

New old stock, I did have Mk2 Cortina ones, I bought a job lot to get the GT Corsair ones.

Old Mazak doesn't chrome well at all, any pitting will produce a hole in the cleaning process.

You may get lucky if they look good, but if they look good I wouldn't be putting then through the chrome process, fair chance they will shine but look like woodworm has been a visitor.
