    Riveting! I would rather have that door latch type mechanism than anything else as a closure. I would venture to guess that it is all brass too.

    There are only two bits on the cantle that aren't brass: the spring and the spring keeper pin, both of which are steel, and the only parts not made by the Commander. He told me at the time that this type of latch was superior to the original as it never popped open. So far, in the 37 years I've worn this sporran, he's been right.
