A rare Luzon Salakot

Kino,

I personally think the entire chin strap, antler toggles and the end pieces are reproduced, I suspect faithfully from what may have once resided there.

Well upon a second look, you are right it is leather.

I believe that these were originally made of woven cloth cord, and yes often with silver pieces matching the silver on the rest of the salakot.
