The way i read the text in Torben W. Flindt’s article on page 23, it says. “Hilts. When wood or horn were used, the gripshells were held together by three to five rather large iron rivets whose size may be regarded as a Bukharan Characteristic.”
To me it seems as if Torben means, not only the number of rivets, but also the size of the iron rivets.
