You might try contacting Peter or “The Mariner’s Museum, Newport News, Virginia” directly.

Unfortunately, Peter Ifland passed away on May 20th, 2014. I do live a half mile from the museum, but I'm not sure that a Mark V is among their collection, or that anyone currently there would be able to provide any assistance. (Their web page does say that they have 154 pieces donated by Mr. Ifland, so they just might, though.) Having said that, I would be happy to go there and inquire on C. Fesmire's behalf. Just let me know.
Sincerely,
Sean C.
