As you have mentioned most of the rivets which hold the shikoro in place are missing and in my previous photos the shikoro does not fit tightly against the "koshimaki but in the next photos you could see that now the shikoro fit perfectly againt the bowl.
I have spent a lot of time looking everywhere with magnifying lens but there is no one fragments of lacquer and so I believe that this kabuto is tetsusabji (russet iron),

That looks much better, you can find replacement rivets online.
