I just purchased an '88 Chantilly MM from Japan, it needs some work but it was absolute steal for the condition the canvas is in so I'm planning to fix it up myself as a fun little project. Crusty pocket, crumbling strap, etc, I'm pretty experienced with leatherwork and whatnot so I'm not too worried. It's also missing a rivet on the buckle, so I'm wondering if any Chantilly owners can post a pic of their buckle rivet so I can see if it's an actual rivet or the screw-on type. Just need to see the other side of an intact rivet under the little loop so I know what kind of work I'll be putting in here. I'm including a pic, any help would be massively appreciated :smile:

I just joined the forum. Can you tell me if it’s possible to glue the back of the buckle back onto the rivet
