You might try Steve Medved.

Hi Pete. The N reproducer came out in 1911 and was followed shortly after by the model O. They shared serial numbers. The first O reproducers had a flat top pot metal top and a round weight in the 25000 s/n range. Around 45000 the dome top N appeared. The difference between the N and the O was weights they used . You could use one of large reproduction tops you see on ebay sold by landajus. If the problem is that your N body is chipped Steve Medved can repair it. He did one for me and it looks pretty good.
