Does this exist?

I'm starting to think I'm on a wild goose chase, but I guess this is the best place to find out.
I'm after some period-correct handlebars for my '92 bike, and I want flat bars rather than risers, and at least 660mm wide.
I've had several 680mm riser bars pointed out to me, such as Club Roost. I've also had several mid-late 90s XC riser bars suggested, such as Easton Monkey Lite. But so far no flat, early 90s wide bars.
Can anyone suggest a suitable bar that I've not found or heard about? Preferably available in black. Plus, I'd also like the moon on a stick. Thank you.
 
I don't think they exist. No do tubeless Onza Porcs or 12 speed thumbies either.
I suspect you would find the handling weird anyway.
 
I don't think, in that era, there were many wider than around 610mm
 
I was told that Kusuki made a set that were 660 wide, which is what I wanted for my Titanius, but what arrived from Japan had been cut to just over 600… still look good though. DF93C844-B882-4EE2-8D9F-5943B22014B7.webp 1379CD70-F85D-4EC1-8A9A-1E0D0BB2A5B9.webp
 
I can’t think of any that were/are 660mm and flat. That’s the era when everyone was cutting down their bars in any case.
Maybe some slightly earlier ones might be 600mm.
 
Sunn NK Trial. I have one cut down at 580mm, but it originally was way wider. I think I bought it in 1994. Don't know whether it was around in 1992.

Thanks, I'll add to the list to see if I can find one. An initial Google search brings back nothing though, so I guess it must be pretty rare
 
I seem to recall having a fairly long roox flat bar, plus 600mm but not sure how early it was, but standard bar clamp (used a shim actually).
