Don't know about the v1, so this could be a bum steer, but I did recently drop a ridgeless 17-19g Pullman precision basket in a v2 portafilter handle and it fit well. Certain it was the v2 not v3 as the handle was the old style grip. That portafilter at least, seemed to be the same size as the v3 which ive used both ridgeless VST 18g and Pullman 17-19g baskets on.
Did the portafilter handle change from v1 to v2?
On the bright side, the v1 has the stainless group head cover which is waaaay better than the chrome plastic that followed and forever requires reolacent or, as I've done, just leave off and (crudely) polish the group underneath.

Firstly, congratulations on getting your son out of the house. Pull up the drawbridge and prepare the boiling oil if he tries to come back.
Re baskets, I have an old Rancilio Audrey which uses the same 20-112-030 portafilter, and came with a Rancilio 40-100-010 double basket. I believe that in 2010, this basket was replaced with the 40-100-102 14g basket. I think the current 14g basket part number is 40-100-107. There is also a 18g 40-100-108 basket, but I'm unsure if this fits in the above portafilter. These are commonly available for about $12- $15 from some of the site sponsors.

Rancilio Silva V1 filter basket size?
So my son is moving out of home to do a music degree. Can't imagine life without quality coffee, but is on a budget. I found him a very lightly used Silva V1 2001, It only came with a double wall basket (!). I think it is what people call the V1.b model, meaning it is before they changed filter size to standard. Inscription inside the portafilter is 20-112-030. So I need to buy a single wall, double shot basket. Can anyone help me with what will fit? What did they change in later V1 models?
