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.

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.

First I was like...


Then I see you say you were "joking"

Your sense of humor is off to say the least.
