Nice pins

[jeness]

Hi all! Someone could give me a good place where I can buy nice pins? I found only the ugly Solingen nail type pins. Im lookig for something nice, that I can get here in Europe.

I make my own from 1/16th brass and stainless rod, the ones you mention are ok once fitted and polished, but a little on the chunky side for some scales IMHO

Hi Emanuel! Im in Hungary, Europe. Thats why I search for some nice pins, because the USA sellers are too expensive with shipping, or they doesn't even sell the to EU.

Just for completeness:
Revisor sells those standard silver pins as seen on so many Solingen razors:

And Olivia has a choice of bigger nickel and brass pins:

If you are the do-it-yourself kind of guy you may want to check http://www.microfasteners.com. They sell small sized washers and bolts. All you need to go with that are some plain common escutcheon pins. Ok, they are not European based but still worth to be mentionned.
