Those are bracelet pins if I'm not mistaken.

Asked for strap pins and I got them today (see picture).
The barrel size is 20mm, is this the way it it supposed to be for 22mm size?

If they fit, yes, if not - no. I don't remember what the markings are off the top of my head but it's a simple enough test - if they fit between the lugs slightly compressed then they're fine.

Update:
Received the leather strap 22-20 and requested the appropriate pins for the strap, was told not to worry all will be taken care.
This is what I received (attached pins picture).
Are they good for leather strap or I should go back and ask for correct pins?

Yes, those are indeed the springbars for the bracelet. As mentioned above, they will work with the strap but I would recommend acquiring the correct strap springbars from your source. If he needs assistance in providing the correct springbars, give him the part number I mentioned in the post a few above this one or open up this forum thread on his computer and let him read the thread himself. :wink:
Best,
Ron

I received the appropriate pins for the leather strap after asking back, see my reply dated Nov 17 with picture showing the pins.
Thanks for detailed info and photos.

Gorgeous cufflinks you have there :drool:

Can you tell us where did you get them?

Hi, Tomcat. I got lucky on an Ebay auction (seller was an antique dealer. Cufflinks came from an estate.) last year when I found those cufflinks. They are vintage sterling silver and are replicas of the famed Wright "Cyclone" radial engine. The cufflinks were made in the late 1940's and the company which produced them was called "Hickock". I have tried unsuccessfully to find another pair like them in the past year. When I wear them, they almost always elicit a comment or compliment. I really do enjoy them immensely... :)
Best,
Ron

I know that they represent the Cyclone engine and since I have several cufflinks and ties on the aviation theme, they really struck on me. The closest to that that I have is the 9-cylinder BMW Bramo engine but I lost one :cry: , so I can't wear them anymore.

No wonder you get complimented on them, they are awesome :drool: :drool: :drool:

Wear them in good health Ron.
