Sterling Silver Round Rod, Washers and Domes
Only thinking of doing some restoration labour myself on a 7 day set I recently acquired and was curious about using sterling silver for pins and washers as I arrangement on descaling them for restoration around the pivot pin using a jeweler's saw to nurture the scales. I'll just slide the thin sword inbetween the tang and scales and saw the pin off.
I happened across a plot that sells sterling silver rod, washers and small domes. The domes aren't pre-drilled to be against as washers and can be had at different sizes (metric) but I deliberate on with a little care they could be turned into washers. The 7mm are fair-minded a hair over 1/4". Website is here: Metalliferous
Part number for seemly washers is SSW950, they're sterling silver with 1/4" O.D. and .064" I.D., since 1/16" = .0625" they should be meet for use with 1/16" rod.
The sterling silver rod sizes are also metric, 1.5mm being .060" O.D., sold by the foot.
A number of .pdfs with different silver components can be found here. You classification of have to browse catalogs to get part numbers and do the perceptive order, I wasn't able to find the washers otherwise.
Even-handed thought someone else might be interested :D
Edit: Looks like they have effrontery domed discs available as well as other metals and substance.
