Brass cast medieval rivets "Twist"
Functional armor rivets, half-dozen (6)
Set of brass cast medieval rivets "Twist"
Half-dozen functional armor rivets for Middle Ages enthusiasts
Twisted rivets of the same appearance can be easily found in historical references featuring plate armor and accessories of the XIV-XV centuries. Compared to the simple semispheric rivets, those definitely are the eye-catchers. So, if you seek to add extra luxury to your new project inspired by the Middle Ages, we are happy to help. In such a creative hobby as yours, there is always room for improvement, customization or simply for another bag or belt to fit your new persona. It doesn't matter if it's SCA, LARP, or any other medieval or fantasy-related pastime; if it's a tiny repair or a complete set of new armor, the high-quality brass cast rivets will do their thing - will hold parts together and add bonus points to the charisma stats of your character. Look at the rivet in dynamics in the video – they are stunning!
The crispy lines and the high quality of the metal turn those functional armor rivets into blacksmith gems. We use the same rivets at our manufacturing facilities for belts, bags, and, sure thing, armor. And we've finally found the solution for the silver-colored finishes — now you can order all our rivets in a nickel-plated steel color option.
The set contains 6 "Twist" rivets in selected color and washers. Please see the video for our recommendations on the installation process: we advise installing the rivet on the hard leather surface or on the soft wood. That will prevent the deformation of the rivet's head.
Please contact us if you have any additional questions.

What is the diameter of this rivet shaft? I'm looking for 1/8" shaft decorative rivets for a helmet I'm building. Thank you!
Diameter of the shaft is 4 mm or 1/6".
how would you suggest I set these rivets on armor without damaging the face of the rivet?
You should make a special deepening of the similar shape in the anvil when working with these rivets and armor.
