Will this wood control handle fit Valentina Levetta?

[Everman]

I stumbled across a place where you can buy a replacement wood control handle for an Elektra. I always liked the look of the wood handle and it's only $10. (I'm guessing it's probably plastic though?) I have no idea if it will fit Valentina though, any ideas?

That looks like the Elektra A3's lever knob and off switch, both of which were Bakelite. IIRC, the lever knob threads on most E61 levers is 8mm, but you should check first (any Ace Hardware will have metric bolts if you want to be certain). That said, if you're going to go with wood, why not go custom as suggested in Turned wooden handles and knobs? I love the look of this matching set from woodworker pasmarose in Germany:

Pasmarose has some nice looking stuff, a matching set is out of my price range for now though. I'll definitely do it at some point, maybe next christmas
