On the lookout for the above
I can only assume you’re looking for a vintage OR since new ones can be purchased just about anywhere, anytime.
I have one that is a late 50s 7 3/8 7X Clear Beaver. It has the regarded “Last Drop” 7X embroidered liner tip.
The usual 3/8” ribbon has been replaced with 1 1/2” and a frayed trailing edge bow. Usually done on original western Stetsons from the early 1900s.
Don’t know if you know or not but 7XCBs are highly prized and very rare—especially in extra large sizes. 3X, 4X and 5X are blended furs of rabbit and beaver where these old rare 7Xs are pure beaver.

Also have a 7 3/8 7XCB OR from mid 50s that’s near mint and all original with wind trolley.
However, these particular pure beaver fur ORs aren’t cheap, and rightly so. You just can’t beat vintage Stetson’s pure beaver in hard to find ORs like this.
Not really sure I even want to sell this one, so I haven’t included pics of it.
3X ORs are easier to find, but still hard in the 7 3/8 or bigger sizes. I don’t know what you know so I felt obliged to include at least this information.

If interested, I’ll send more info and photos.

Thanks Randall, much appreciated. I’m hoping to find a used one at a cheaper price, can’t stretch to the price of a new one.
