So I got bored today and took an old vintage strap from Wotan craft straps that was made for my egi.. I googled a bunch of pictures of old war ammo pouches and other old war leather items and writings.. I took my burning tool and burned all these different numbers and markings into the strap exactly the way I saw them on them on the net.

It's not supposed to make any sense, just a bunch of random numbers and words, codes that were researched on the net.

When I was done this is what it looked like. I will call it “Ammo Graffiti strap”

Tell me what you guys think? Deff not an everyday strap but the look is deff cool I think. Looks like I did it with a pen but it's actually burned into the leather and will never come out wet or dry.

the strap has the correct GPF mod dep buckle sewn into the strap as well.

I like the idea in concept, but I think less grafitti would look awesome. You may be on to something.

I was thinking that, but then it would look just like other straps out there that have already been made with writing and numbers on them. So i went for more instead of less for something different.

Personalized and very cool. A one of a kind.
