MikeRock Posted June 11, 2020 Report Posted June 11, 2020 Looks like it will work fine. Use brass machine screws, flat head, and you have it. Heck, the area is already clean and primed with solder. A little flux on the screw head and heat. God bless Quote

I did a bit of research and see that the 3 pin attachment on the rear is very similar to period examples found at military sites of the 1860s in Virginia and Georgia. Presumed you'd prefer period correct. Quote
Members FrenchMich Posted August 30, 2020 Members Report Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Hello, In France There a old house which make and sale this kind of product. It name is Poursin and it exist since 1830. If you want some informations, I can call them. I bought one few years ago for the same utilisation.Of memorie it was not chicago screws back but pins attachment, it holds up very well but you have to make a lining. It's not in inch but in millimeter and the bigest is 68 mm (approximately 2-3/4''). It's solid brass hand polished. If I can help you, don't hesitate. Web site : https://www.poursin-paris.fr/ to find the right page, go to at ''Cocardes, grelots et initiales'' in the left column. If you want I also can ordered for you and send you in California.
