If you really must have an exact duplicate, if you have one good one,
you can use urethane casting resin. First, using the good part, you
make a mold set from silicone molding material, then cast the resin into
the mold. I have made duplicate keyboard caps for specialty industrial
automation keyboards for CNC machines this way and you can't tell the
difference. It would cost in the area of 50-75 bucks for a kit with all
materials required. Expensive but a perfect match.

Fred,
I should stress, use a LITTLE expxy on those lids or they are
permanent, hi. Someone years ago went the trouble of somehow filling
those hollow pen caps with a resin of some sorts and inserted shafts
in the uncured resin and had a nice fit when they cured up.
