Will do, although I think I have that sussed. I actually MAY do the 'trick release' latch on one of them... Slide one knob to the side and only THEN can the top button be lifted.

I really like the laced attachment too. You are reading the black dots correctly, they are holes for the leather thong to go through.

Given your previous works, I imagine the final product will be something incredible!

Good luck!
Thanks!

Here is a small collage of the initial selection.


A-Brown, Archibald
B-Campbell (of the Campbell & Campbell image)
C-Morgan, James
D-MacDougall
E-Robertson (of the Robertson & Stewart image)
F- Stewart (of same)
G- Stewart

I'll most likely attempt 'F' first, as it matches the materials I have in hand, but 'A' is my second choice- as I really like the pinked red trim between the cantle and hair
