The slabs are still held by pins, but the pins remain "hidden" and do not penetrate the slabs throughout, but deep enough to provide a hold without coming out.
Also common on shamshirs... just like on my Avatar picture:-)
Esthetically it makes a good alternative to driving a metal rod through the ivory for the mounting purposes.
