It's leather, probably Russian. The backside is milled and seems to be pasted, which is what the milled backside is usually for.
If it works great, do absolutely nothing to it. JMOGeezer likes this."Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

I might mention this is a one piece strop. The diamond pattern is on the back side, and no, it is not pasted.

Red? True, but I believe it to be dyed. Nothing came off onto the cleaning rag. This strop has been cleaned and conditioned.

If the price is fair and you go home empty handed you will not be able to sleep tonight.

They were a large and very well-known outfit. Back then they only used leather for strops.
I have some strops with the diamond pattern. As has been said the back is for special use.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero

That is the same as the back of the leather piece of my certifyd strop. My leather is Russian shell and the back is reddish and has the diamond pattern.
