Hi, I had it made for me, I’m not sure anyone makes them it’s just a broom handle and a corner piece of wood about 4” high

It’s on a listed building mate so what comes off goes back on and once it’s patinated it looks nice in my opinion

Milled is better but as you said what comes off must go back on

That doesn’t even look like cast lead to me. I’ve been doing it years. Where’s the leopard spots? Looks like milled.
