If you mean 'cotter pins' they are regularly listed on ebay.

Split pins
With split pins or whatever you like to call them, I was always short of, match sticks could be used at a push (no pun intended), but they did not have the same allure as the brass split pin. To solve my problem, I looked for suitable wire, this not being forthcoming without purchase, I used the next best thing, paper clips!
These can be straightened out and with some skilled work with a pair of pliers, and a nail the split pin can be made. |

Tom, Marways are one of this Forum's preferred dealers and their web address is listed on the Forum's opening "splash" page as "Dealers". I have had a lot of correspondence with Jaime and she is extremely helpful. Whether they can help you or not I don't know But, its worth a try. I got split pins from them a while ago. David |

Ian Kelly also sells various fitments.
the link below takes you to the appropriate page in his catalogue. http://www.kellybadge.co.uk/Stock/allstock.htm Other than an occasional customer, I have no connection to Ian Kelly. I do recommend him as a dealer with integrity. John |

UTC - I have found (in my bits and pieces box) about 10 brass split pins suitable for Glengarry badges - you are welcome to them if you still need some - let me know if they are required
