No idea where to get an original, sorry. I have to wonder, however, what it special about an original? Did they have some steel back then that was better than what we have now?
If you’re concerned only about quality of steel, would a Hock Tools scraper blade, made to fit a Stanley #80 scraper, also fit in your Record? http://www.hocktools.com/products/sb.html
Worst case, you can buy 18 inches x 3 inches x 1/16th inch of O1 tool steel sheet for 40 bucks plus shipping, cut it to the proper size, and have enough steel for several scraper blades. http://www.metalsdepot.com/catalog_cart_view.php?msg=
