Hello Gents
Does anyone make a small custom PE fret?
I just need one. Of course, will pay the fee :-)
If anyone is interested, please contact me.

Why don't you just take an image off the internet and print it on paper?

Found on in 1/6 scale.

And there's a real one on eBay for $250:

As for printing, it's hard to determine what font would work for Großdeutschland.

There are a few sites that have the cuffs layed out flat, in a graphic format. Thats kind of what I was thinking.

Neo,
I take the liberty of guessing for Taesung's motivation, but the thing is that paper is flat, while the cuff titles were embroidered (IIRC) and not woven into the fabric. Hence there would be depth.
PE can give you that depth, paper can not. It is similar to using decals for your number plates or PE lettering. The difference is not that noticable, but I guess when talking about 1/16 it is.
As for your request Taesung, I am afraid I can not help you.
Regards,
Harm

Thanks for the help, Gents.
Yes, I wanted to custom-make PE parts to use on the masters.
Even in 1/16 (110mm), there's some details that are too small
to be done by hand...

4D Model Shop in the UK do custom etching - check the frame on the left of their homepage.
It doesn't look cheap, but should serve your purpose, and I'm pretty sure they ship to the US
