I don't think anyone still makes new slide rules, except for the E6B flight computer which is rather specialized. However, you should be able to get a metal Pickett slide rule on ebay for a reasonable price; they're great slide rules and being metal rather than wood will tend to hold up better over the years (moisture can really mess up a wood slide rule). Something like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/234503446574 https://www.ebay.com/itm/234503446574
