Thanks guys, bought it.
I have that one. Works fine. I couldn't find silver pins and washers other than on the 'bay. However, brass pins and washers are best purchased through Microfasteners. They are about 2.5 cents each there (vs about 25 cents on some eBay auctions).

Perfect. Thanks so much for your input. I think this will keep me set for a while but I appreciate the heads up.

That's the real deal. I usually use microfastener bolts, because they are so cheap and so versatile, which can be used either with nuts or peened down over washers. I recently made a bunch of pins and pinned a couple of Gold Dollars, using an old bent brass hasp as the raw material. I hacksawed it into strips and turned them round and to size in a drill. But Nickel Silver is the professional standard and definitely the way to go.
