58 Spider Veloce Mirror-Help!

My 58 Spider Veloce project car came just about complete with the exception
of a driver's door mirror. Holes are there--no mirror--so I'm in need of a
replacement. I've been looking at lots of photos lately, both period and
modern and without exception the mirrors on Giuliettas/early Gulias seem to
come in one of two types: 1) bullet shaped with limited adjustment lense
(like turning a dial) and 2) a flat, round mirror attached off-center on the
back to a rather spindly arm via a balljoint. The later is my preferred
configuration because it has a greater range of motion and I think it looks
cooler. (Lots of cars in the older photos don't even have outside
mirrors.) Thoughts on the "correct" mirror and especially a source for the
flat-round-attached-to-spindly-arm-type would be much appreciated. It
doesn't have to be the concours item (although NOS WOULD be nice wouldn't
it!). A good quality repro or really nice used will do. Anyone sourced
this item before ?
Thanks in advance for the usual good supply of very helpful responses. You
guys are the best!
Any leads on a really nice Super or Berlina would also be appreciated.
