Liner rivets for M42 restoration

[sniper11]

Hi guys needs your help please.I'm currently attempting to restore an original M 42 shell which was kindly given to me and I need some liner rivets as well as the liner band for a 64 shell .I have seen these and would like to know if they are original or fake.I would like to use original parts if I can but can't afford to spend stupid money for parts. Are these liner rivets original or fake ?

I believe those are fake, based off the originals that I have.

A few points to consider:

1- based off the fact that they have never been installed (no previous bends to the arms) and they are that aged, they have been fake aged to appear old.

2- compaing them to originals I have in my collection, they are not correct construction for this maker. MSS 44 should be on the inside of the arms, so they would show when bent into proper position.

3- head shape is wrong, its too fat and the arms look too thick

Hope this helps,
