I used something that looks like your pins to fix a broken handle last weekend, a darn near invisible repair. The messy braze job is probably 100 years old. You can see the end of my repair on top of the handle - the brown dot (a rag & bleach was used to add a little cosmetic rust). The same technique was used to fix a compound rest, before and after pics here. Basically using an adhesive (epoxy or loctite) and then "bolting" the halves together, followed by filing or machining the excess pin away.
