Looking for Fork

Hello-so I've got a Peugeot road frame with Reynolds 531 that I am restoring. The problem is that I don't have any forks to go with it. Would anyone happen to have an old fork they are willing to part with? I'm new to the forum, but I am happy to purchase it (not sure how that would work). I would like the fork to be steel, nothing special, with fender eyelets and at least 195mm of steerer tube.
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.

Do you need a fork for a 27" tire or a 700c tire?

Do you have a color preference or do you want a chrome fork?

Please post a pic of your bike.

Thanks for the reply cb400bill and jamesj. I'll be using 700c wheels, but I think my breaks would work on a fork designed 27in wheels, but I'm not positive on this. I'd prefer chrome, but it really dones't matter-if it's beat up and rusty I'll just clean it up and paint it. This will be for my commuter bike. I'll post photos of the frame tonight or tomottorw night.
Thanks

Where do you live?

I have a white fork with chrome from a UO-8. I bought it for a larger frame and it was too small. Should have measured.
