FYI Jeff (BE) has said here that there are so many good mouthpieces being made today, that many will do. Nicola no longer holds a unique place. He likened the Nicola to approx. a Bach 10 1/2 C size.

If you can find a Nicola, why not? But it's not worth beating your head over. Get another reputable average-dimensioned mouthpiece and hit the practice room.

Chris, I responded to your email.

You may be able to find a used one somewhere. If not, a Bach 10.5 C is similar in size, although somewhat different in rim thickness and cup shape.

Plus, there are more mouthpiece manufacturers now than ever. A lot of well-made products out there.

kehaulani, we posted about the same time.

FWIW, the original BE mouthpiece was made by Bobby DeNicola (RIP), and I think it was his 7C. I’ve always seen them referred to as DeNicola, not Nicola.

Good luck on your hunt.

Actually, the BE DeNicola mouthpiece was close to Bobby's original model 3 mouthpiece (his numbering system was very different from Bach). I asked him to modify a couple of things.
