Gamsby Wig-lit by Mac ... if you missed it ..
I only made 2 like this with the cotter pins if I remember correctly. (That yellow one was the nicest one) That is extremely close to an original. Right down to the tail wire. The brass cotter pins have to be marked and cut, then soldered before putting into the body. The bottom grommet is then added and the loop bent back to semi round.

The joint is stainless steel toilet chain like the original
