That's a big piece of lint on the original display.  It's in the book photo.  I had to look.   It looks like the rivet body is not much more than 1/8", so the 5/16" diameter head leaves 3/32" of rim all the way around the head and splash/expanded part, plus the expanded part is actually curved back around and dug into the leather.  That would hold the leather in compression quite well.   If you load and unload from a loop you'll see there is very little pressure placed on the rivet.  I think I'll turn some copper rivets down to size and play with this a bit.  How's the weather up your way Chuck?  I just had a friend from Troy, MT tell me how nice it is up there.

God bless

Oh ok  sounds like a fun experiment indeed. Its gorgeous here to if your a penguin that likes 40 mph wind storms with gusts to 65  LOL I live on the edge of the red desert but we have had well over 30 inches of snow this year. But not bad today it was above freezing we went out and had to dig up some of our drifts so the deer could find a bite to eat that wind packs the snow in like cement.

May god bless you as well.

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.
