To really get into the oldschool spirit, I would like some sharpedged, plastic, nontransparent 70´s-style dice.
Are there any companys that make such dice?

Like these? http://www.gamescience.com/opaquerole-playingdice

Nice! If you're going to go '70s old-school, though, don't forget the tasty lead miniatures.

Those are nice, I might just get them. Though I would really like a D20 with only the numbers 0-9, so you´ll have to fill in one set of numbers with paint.
My first D20 had two sets of 0-9, but one set had the number undelined like this: 9... it was red, and I miss it!

For some reason I thought these gamescience dice were super expensive, but $9 ain't bad

Cool dice. Real old school.

$5 for the unpainted version - even the price is more oldschool!
In my last post I said that my first dice had one set of numbers undelined, but this is wrong.
It was a small + before the number, like this +9.
I still miss it though!

I bought some Gamescience dice like those years ago because I wanted soft plastic el cheapo dice but didn't want to expose my OD&D dice from the '70's to additional handling. I followed the pattern of my old TSR dice (yellow d4, orange d6, green d8, blue d12 and white d20) and use them as my go-to dice when I get in an "old school" mood. The colors don't quite match my originals, but they work fine!

NERD

Actually I managed a couple of sets of "traveling" dice, one from either my basic or expert set (or maybe combining the survivors of those) and one the mismatched dice my mom bought me at the same time because she didn't know there were dice in the Basic box

These aren't my dice, but they look just like them. This is what my 1970's OD&D TSR dice looked like "back in the day" before companies figured out that customers wanted matched dice sets.



Those are soft plastic and the edges have a habit of rounding in a really bad way. I've been trying to find new high-impact dice to match these for a long time.

Chessex has some of them (d4 and d6) but the others they sell have white numbers instead of black. Somewhere I bought some new fangled green d8's with black numbers but I'll be darned if I can recall where I got them....
