Getting the pins is no problem, I have had some a couple of years ago from a Canadian vendor. I cut the heads off and used them in the more traditional manner of pinning.

Yes, I have seen these...

Yes, that is what I think also. Would you be suspicious of vintage straights with these new type pins installed?

Yes, it is not just Dovo that use this type of pin, other current manufacturers do too. I believe it is a time shaving short cut in the manufacturing processes, nothing more and not an improvement...

I believe Dovo uses the new "nail head" pins where only one side is peened. Peen that side.
