Deep drop bullhorns - where to buy?

Anyone know where I can find bars like the ones in this picture:

https://www.fixedgeargallery.com/2004/c/dragonetti.htm

The model pictured is a 3T Chrono, another model I've seen (in pictures) is the 3T Moscow. I don't care about brand, I just want a bar with extensions that drop a good distance below the stem. I have some Syntace triathalon type bullhorns and they are good, but I want to get lower when I'm on the extensions.

I'd appreciate it if anyone could 1) Recommend some handlebar models and 2) Tell me where I could buy one.

John filled the bars with loose ball bearings just for added effect.

I always thought those bars were just cut off drops but they left more of the curve on it instead of trying to get them flat... I didn't know they actually make them like that.

I've been trying to find a pair of syntace stratos with the deep drop. The stratos 800 with the 80 mm drop is a rare beast to find.

Peligro,
There was a Nitto 019 on the Panasonic track bike that "moron" bought on eBay. Now we know why you were so ticked that it sold so high <g>.

Can someone comment on the deep drop bullhorns? Besides the obvious reach difference, how will they affect someone new to riding track geometry?

What I want is a hand position that is halfway between a chopped and flipped bullhorn and a track drop. I've tried both and find that the bullhorns are too high and the track drops too low, especially when riding with a bag on my back. I'm hoping some dropped bullhorns will give me an in-between position that's aero enough but still ok for my back.
