Anyone know a source for these or in the alternative a satisfactory substitute?

Is this for a No4 or an SMLE?
If its the "Pin" "back-sight pivot pin, retaining pin" then a cut off finishing nail is a perfect substitute.

'Bed" should have identified it as a No.1 but I found a roofing nail works well too.  LOL!  The rifle is too pretty to not have a proper pin though, I need one that can be peened to prevent it from slipping out and look original.
