Wild Bill T

I have come across a type of leather or latigo string that I cannot find anywhere. It has a very glossy bergundy color of latigo on the grain side but the flesh side looks like regular veg tan. Thie strings are extremely thin (around 1 mm thick) and 1/4 " wide. These strings are exactly what I need for lacing up some knife scabbarts and some braiding projects. I was told it might be oil tanned latigo that was not stuffed. Any ideas or help will be much appreciated.
