But then I had to remove the handle (which was broken and needed to be replaced) and the latches. These were all rivetted onto the wooden case. They were not nice rivets either, they splayed out into the wood and then were hammered back onto the wood. Honestly, I surprised I was able to get them out as cleanly as I did (and it wasn't clean). No pictures of that mess.

Before sanding things needed to be reglued, but nothing unexpected (at least it didn't fall apart). Sanding and filling were uneventful, which you can see in pictures 5, 6 and 7.
