With sword scabbards such as the Fulham this has what may be considered as concealed rivets, this is where flat head rivets have been used.
However these rivets do not go thro' the whole guttering edge strips of the scabbard, the heads of these rivets are on the inside of the guttering at it's rear edge and hold the cross hangers at the back where the rivet ends are peened over at the rear of the scabbard.
This is a process where the scabbard frame is put together complete then the inner wood and leather case is slid into the scabbard frame afterwards.
