not exsact match but close

No bother. I've bought a set of 8 brass bullseye pins from him. They look very nice. I will post a picture later,
Thanks.

This is a set of brass bull-eye pins for one razor.
Thanks.

Could some one please tell me where i can get hold of the pins in the photo(the ones in silver and gold which appear under the razor in the above photo).

Beware that these come with collars as opposed to washers but the pin is still 1/16" - therefore you have to drill the scales to accomodate the collar.

Personally, having tried them I prefer rod and washers both for ease of use and aesthetically. The problem with collars is that they are longer than most scales are thick, therefore you have to size them and they distort very easily. The bigger problem though is that the side already peened is just too sharp to look realistic - so you end up having to flatten that out as well. All in all they take longer to fit and don't look as traditional as rod and washers.

Edit - another issue I found is that the nickel coloured ones are plated brass (or maybe the other way round) and cleaning them up removes the plating very easily.

Thank you Rod, After what you have just said i think i will use the rod and washer method instead.

I've only just realised what an old thread this is - when the links did not lead anywhere.

Not to worry Rob, still a good learning thread for myself!
I didn't clock the dates either as the subject was too interesting.
