Here is a nice vintage Shell strap that I restored. The original cotton was pretty frayed and ugly, however it will still make a nice paste strap as it is high quality cotton so I have kept that, and will be putting that to use in the future. I replaced the cotton with a new kanayama linen strap from JimR, along with some new hardware from the same. I am reasonably sure that it is cordovan shell... but I dont really know how to be certain. Havent tried it out yet, but I am pretty excited!
