Your rivet actually looks like a chisel split one tandyfan, a type that I and Diecast have been discussing on a few Lesneys we have. This is a type of roof rivet that was split with a chisel rather than spun, and is still unlisted. Thank You for for now showing yours with the later oval hole and the boot studs. I have this chisel cut roof rivet with both the round and the oval hole in the glaze also. Both of my examples have the boot studs like yours, and also the high 'A' on the base which has never been discussed on this Cortina. One day we will feature this 25D on a discussion, and we will have to add both of these features to Nick's listings with their pictures. kwakers
