Wow the elephant skin strap seems a little morbid, aren't they somewhat protected?

They probably used the skin from one that died of natural causes..........Lead poisoning.

JV looks very nice !! I have a 26/26,tang buckle on order.

ABP in Paris makes some exotic straps.A black Stingray would look good on my 242 or 104.
