MKVII SNAP FASTENERS
This is probably a useless bit of info but here goes.The snap fasteners on my bag were quite coroded and would'nt snap together so I chanced ordering a packet from ebay to replace them in the hope that they would look enough like the originals.They were EXACTLY the same ! I did'nt even have to replace the male half.How cool is that,a sixty year old bag and the hardware has not changed a bit.The packet of 20 snaps cost me £5 and you even get a tool for fitting them.If anyone needs to know the size just leave me a message.

I think in the ebay search I put 'brass snap fasteners'.At the time they only had chrome plated brass so I used a bit of wet and dry to take of the chrome and hey presto, 60 year old looking snaps.The packet is in my workshop so I will check on the size and post a.s.a.p.The origional snaps on my bag had no wavey lines on them so the new ones matched perfectly.
