You can buy the correct size rivets from a hobby shop made for HO trains. Drill, insert the rivet and peen over on the backside. (package shown is a sample only, confirm your needed size)

Another trick is to use a finish nail punch with the concave recessed head and lightly tap it in the exact location that a rivet will be. It will be a correct size and shaped head on the Fisher tag and once a small dab of silver is added it looks very legit.
