I believe he is asking about the rivets. If I had to guess I would say they look to be about a 30/128 malamute headed soft steel rivet manufactured at the Chunderthicken steel works in Manchester. The rivets were known for their ease of application but they tended to shift a bit during peening and could pop right off under stress.

Without checking or Googling, you're either referring to the Invisible Man, or one of the chaps who went to Mars (there have been quite a few by different authors when you actually think about it).
