Yes, the older style not the new one, that looks a little odd, but in a good way.

I have both a pt88 and a giddings bayamo. They are very similar in design with the giddings having a bigger backbore. The big loud LM3 has a very similar feel to a 88. Houser's big stainless steel mouthpiece is the MK7 or something like that and it is also comparable.

Have you considered having the rim gold plated? It might be the cheapest solution. Gold does not tend to react to acidic perspiration as much as silver or brass, and a lot of jewelers and mouthpiece specialists can gold plate the entire piece or just the rim or rim/cup. There are probably custom services out there that could easily do it over Christmas break.
