... The holes in the tips look great. 
That's just one hole, the other 2 are solid Silver rivets, they just line up as a nice 3 in row.
I'd not worked with silver before, I though it would be a classy contrast with the black WB horn.
I got the silver online, pretty cheap, 50mm lengths of 3 different diameters, only about £10 (that's  'idunno' in dollars ;))
The silver polishes up nicely, but I just couldn't get a shine on that hole ::).

 :)  LOL... might just do that (if I ever get over my fear of airplanes... never been on one and probably never will...)  I wonder if there's a boat ride I could take there?  ;D
