Right, this one'll probably beat the FOAK, but here goes.

For reasons that are far too dull to go into, I am trying to find a set
of gear cutters (preferably 1 to 8), with a 20 degree pressure angle and
(and here's the kicker) in 38 DP.

I think such beasts are mythical, and I *really* don't want to have to
try to make them.

Anyone who has a set lying around gathering dust just acquired a
money-making opportunity.

Why don't you get the gears made by someone else?
