The vast majority of Pioniere hilted Packs are riveted and do not use the standard Pack spanner bolts.

You can see, in Stingray's collection, that all of the beauty Pack Pionieres are riveted, except for the stag grip one.

So, are rivets the standard and spanner bolts used in this case only to mount the stag grips? There was some speculation at some point that Pack sent out their Pionieres to be hilted elsewhere which is why you see them with rivets.

I have 6 Pioniere hilted Pack etched bayos and they are all with rivets.

The stag Pioniere with spanner bolts is the first one that I recall seeing this way.

Anyone have an opinion on the rivet vs spanner bolt theory?
