Well, as promised there it is. From the raw waterbuffalo horn to end product. The shaping done with saw and mainly a finetoothed rasp. Based on several examples and having some scrap alpaca (Berlin silver) sheet I changed my mind from Iron studs to this setup. After making the domes I soldered the heads of m4 bolts into them with generous amounts of lead to create the rivets. No glue or resin in the process, just some hammering. Chose the placing so that the stamps are visble, I must say I'm very pleased with the result. Maybe in the distant future a scabbard....
