Yes, Hubert Fohringer:

<www.fohringer.at>

Homepage only in German, but I just talked to him, simply mail or
phone him (landline +43-2713-2029, mobile +43-664-5003860), tell him
what you would like and he will make you an offer. Transport within
the EU is no problem (2 to 3 days).

You're welcome. Don't know whether Hubert speaks French or
Italian, but his English is very ok. If you talk to him,
send my best wishes.
