Vladman:  What is your SCA name.  Or...

Solid stell rivets are a necessity for the recreation of medieval armour. 
I had to have a special run made of 1/8" shanks with 5/32" heads to match
the original medieval rivets used in recreating medieval armour--now
there's a usenet site that would be something different.

	Try looking for a company named Reed & Prince (or Price?).  I have seen
their rivets in many styles in small green boxes.  A good hardware
dealer should be able to get you an address or phone number.  Of course
then you will have to find a dealer who wants to be bothered with you
because there probably ain't a hardware store that stocks anything but
the most common.
