If you open the clasp there should be three more rivet holes.

Thank you for the replies. the three holes are not in question. In the picture you see the two holes there? On mine those two holes are fake screw heads with a post behind them that is not threaded. So that is my question. The part with two holes is my problem because mine doesn't have the two holes. Hope that clears it up enough to figure my problem out. Thank you. john

The strage thing is they made it look like fake flat head screw heads on the face of the loop you see in the picture and the back side of it is a solid post with no hole in it. I'd like to try and fix them if I can. Maybe file off the post on the back and drill out the two holes that should be there. I am sure the head of the rivet would hide the fact I drilled them out. When I first looked at them i knew something was wrong. Any other sugjesttions would be appreciated. Thank you. John P.S Has anyone used this clasp before? If so share some pics. Would like to see it on something to get an idea of what it will look like on something.

I hope I'm not to late with this reply. The part does not need fixing because they are rivets. here are some pics I just took of one I have. I have used one before as well and it was the same. just look like antique brass jiffy rivets. I placed one of the rivets on the post so you can see it. The rivets should come with it. 3 for the back and 2 extra caps for the "fake screw" posts

Are the rivets fixed to clasp or are they just stuck in the holes?

Tandys picture clearly shows holes and they say five rivets are required and nothing about them being included.

On the one I posted the pics for the 2 rivets for the front part of the clasp are attached and on the front they look like fake screws and only require the rivet cap be pressed on.. the other 3 are separate. total parts are three rivets and 5 rivet caps, which came with mine

That clasp appears on the Springfield site and it shows the fake posts, Tandy's picture doesn't for some reason.
