Removing Epoxy

Thanks for everyone's feedback so far!
I've attach some pictures of what i'm working on.
Alan, i don't think it's pinned, but i'm beginning to wonder if the strap to the asang-asang is welded by rust. after taking some very close up pics, i can see where the strap looks like there's rust, but then again, it could just be the epoxy. i have tried methylene chloride, MEK, and acetone, but so far none of these worked. and heat. if the rust is bonding the strap to the handle, how do i go about in loosening this up?
