No, that was the smith's job; he just wanted me to assist to it, as he is not familiar with antique weaponry restoring and wanted to make sure everything went as per my desire. I knew from the beginning that riveting with silver would me much much easier than with iron. A few hammer strokes and the (hand made) rivets were completely beaten. Mind you, the man is a precision executor; it is 'tasteful' to see him working.
