Now I have built one myself. It is enamelled and suitable for a PX 835. It now illuminates the ground very specifically.

    Hallo,
    Maybe you can enlighten us with how you did make this reflector?

    It looks nice and a good copy, well done.

    I cut out a circular cutout in the lampshade of an old electric ceiling lamp, separated the old electrical system with the dome, made the resulting circular cutout fit and used it to close the old opening that was created. Shaped a brass wire on a round bending device so that it surrounds the glass bell in a circle, soldered a strip of brass bleach to it and inserted it into the cutout for the glass holder. Adjusted and attached at the bottom from the inside. The metal strip allows the adjustment to the curvature of the lampshade to the glass holder.
