Have a look at Allen Models bell castings.

Reasonably priced and can be finished out nicely.

Highiron makes a couple batches a year. Very top shelf.

I make a front mount bell and I will have a top mount bell when I can get one more part cast.
The bells I sell are cast in bell bronze, not silicon bronze, bell bronze sounds better.
