Hi Terry,
You can find them without much trouble on the market at around the price Ade has suggested. Obviously prices vary depending on condition, maker, provenance etc but they certainly aren't cheap!
For more information, take a look at the link Ade has provided, a smart move considering the depth of your questions!!!
There is a brief mention about the 1957 versions which, while not as desireable as the 1939 crosses, are a nice substitute and for a fraction of the price!
