Description
These brass washers are designed to work alongside rivets for the construction, modification, and repair of armor and helmets. When hammered into place, they help secure rivets firmly, distributing pressure evenly and reducing the risk of metal fatigue around the rivet holes. They pair well with the rivets sold separately on this site (SNSA9722, SNSA9721, LB25525). In traditional armorer’s practice, using washers like these was essential to maintain the integrity of armor plates, especially in areas subject to heavy impact.
Fun fact: Brass washers were favored not only for their durability but also because brass resists corrosion, helping to prevent rust around rivet points,a crucial feature in keeping armor battle-ready through the seasons.
