AMMOgator for birthday
Greet everyone!
I decided to make myself a birthday present. I had a very rare ammunition leather of crocodiles, which was used by officers of the Khmer Rouge of Cambodia. In my opinion looks good on my 312. I think I am the sole owner of the strap. (Шутка) I apologize for my Shakespearean English. |

I'm sorry I didn't quite understand how you got it. But it looks good.

Friends, thank you very much for your answers.
I must admit that my post was a joke. I even wrote about this in his message in Russian (Шутка). Of course, a modern crocodile, and not made out of ammunition the Khmer Rouge. In the photo was all I needed to make the strap. In the photo was all I needed to make the strap. Imitation of the old stitch I made with Irish linen thread. Still needed my hands (not pictured) and a little imagination (I do not know how to shoot). Buckle for me cast my friend in silver in my designs. The surface has been specially made rough to mimic vintage. If you liked my post, I'll continue to talk about my experiments. Roland |

my reactions reading this thread.
First I was like... Then I see you say you were "joking" Then I'm back to... Your sense of humor is off to say the least.
