With Chamfrons made of leather there would have been many studs and decoration pieces on them that went thro' the leather, and to protect the face of the horse there had to be a backing of sorts.
There would have been edge stitching on the chamfron holding the backing leather but also in various points a decoration piece would have had a bellcap or two that also held the backing.
These type of fasteners are smooth and round and of course they allow very gentle peening to hold them, the peened pin is hammered down into the countersink of the cap which also does not damage the skin of the horse.
