Chris, In my experience, the most authentic restoration would use the cheap screws that came with the clips - or anything similar from the hardware store or the some bottom drawer of an old bike shop. I just don't remember anyone using the "official" Campagnolo bolts during the 1960s or early '70s. (Unless, perhaps you used actual, official Campagnolo toe clips - but I don't know anyone who used those either.) Most toe clips came with these strange looking unplated screws. Anyway, I don't even remember when those Campagnolo bolts first became available. All the ones I've seen were packaged in those plastic bags with "Campagnolo" printed in a more modern looking script. That's not how Campagnolo parts were package in more ancient times. I remember all the little bits being packaged in a kind of wax paper bag. Anyway, if you read the auction listing closely, you'll see that it says something about the tremendous value of the bag. maybe I should be trying to sell some of the wax paper bags I still have.
