Question Double barrel hammered shotgun parts questions

Hey all you gunsmith types. I have an old hammered double barrel shotgun that needs some work. First question is what is the name of the guide that holds/center/guides the exposed firing pins? I would call them collets but can’t find a proper name online. Second question is can I and where can I get these replaced?
Problem is that one is splitting badly and one has pretty much broken apart so now I have more stress on the firing pins when the hammer hits them.
And no, I’m not shooting it until I get these rebuilt or replaced.
Thanks all

That would be the firing pin collar, or firing pin nut.
is it a Belgian gun, and if it is it stamped " The Interchangeble"?

Default Interchangeable

You know, Interchangeable sounds familiar. I’ll have to dig it out of my sons gun room. Is that good or bad if it’s one of those?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest this might be better off as a wall hanger.

The Interchangeables were just that, mass [produced parts that could be swapped over.
it shouldn't be hard to find parts for it if it is stamped as such.
PM me if you find out.....
