It is my understanding that for a period during WW2 that purple hearts were made with celluloid purple not enamel.  Is there a source to replace this celluloid?

You can get a modern PH and remove the plastic insert to use as a replacement. No known source for the insert.

Plastic insert - carefully pry off GW's head - it has 2 pins on the underside.
