Where can I get brass knuckles in Dublin to be used as part of a sculpture?

Question

Hi can any one help me find out where I can get brass knuckles in Dublin if possible ?

Before any one gives me a big rant about using brass knuckles or accusing me of doing anything to hurt people don't bother waisting your time, I'm only looking for your help as it is part of an anti violence sculpture I am making.

I'm not sure of the law in the Republic, but in the UK  they are categorised as offensive weapons and come under the same laws as flick-knives and martial arts 'fighting stars' etc. and are illegal to sell.

If you are making a metalwork sculpture then welding ( or brazing ) your own ( or having it done for you in a workshop to your design ) should be possible.

It is amazing what you can find on ebay.

[I don't know if this will help or hinder but quite a lot of possibly interesting images and descriptions come up if you google 'knuckle dusters'.]
