I think I will try this tomorrow!

Get them old rivetting tools out Byron!

Here's a tip..

Grind out a dished recess into the top of a 6" tempered nail with your Dremel. This makes for a great rivet set for the brass pin rivets. You WILL need a vice though. :wink:

You may end up ruining the cups otherwise.

What about a recessed punch?

Yep that would do the same job.

Good, I have some of them.

And maybe a Pugio with an alternate blade design and tinned bronze handle

Which found pugio has tinning anywhere on it?

Didn't the Leeuwen dagger have silver or tin coating on the grip?
