Here's a partial database of spindles available. It's also show you how.

I see from the photo, that you have a nutted spindle. You can buy another or buy a hollow bolt on spindle with the same dimensions (note: the threaded studs aren't included in the measurement).

If you cannot match your spindle exactly, get the closest you can.

FYI, a D-xxx spindle is hollow, bolt on, and a N-xxx is a nutted like yours.

X-3xxxx means it's for a 68mm wide bottom bracket (like yours) while X-5xxxx is for a 70mm wide.

BTW- you typo'd the cup dimension, which is 1.37" not 1.27.
