Might be out of luck. You've got SUPPLY CAPTAIN (google), but brass fasteners are old and they won't stock them, I don't think.

Might want to buy some cheap gear at a surplus store and just canabalise these bitches.

They came out in WW1, and was used extensively in WW1/WW2 to 70/80s, as raw material, they need to be bought in bulk, and need proper stamping machine to secure one...

whatever you do, DON'T destroy old US army gear to get em, anything old enough to have em is worth quite a bit!

www.atthefront has them for repairing WWI/WWII US gear, but they say you do need some special tools. Look under 'Fabric and Hardware' then 'US Hardware.' Good luck...
