MagicDiscoMan is right - if you ask at a nut and bolt supplier or possibly an engineering company fasteners supplier, they may be able to help. Washers are just a circle of steel, sometimes plated or coated, with a hole in the middle- a flat doughnut shape. They can be made in brass and could almost look a bit like Chinese coins without the lettering on.
We have some colleagues at a firm in Oslo so, if you're still having problems, I'll ask them if they can suggest the names of some places you can try - just let me know if this is of interest.
