Hello Ángel.

If I remember well, sets of replacement snake skin cut specially for
the OM-1 were sold for about $25-35 in the 70's and 80's. Normal
replacement leatherette was about $20.
The different coloured leather (not only snake) replacement sets were
in particular popular in Japan.

It  would not be difficult for a knowledgeable craftsman to prepare
his own leather or snakeskin covers for the OM-bodies. Material cost
would be marginal.

IMHO the value of a snake skin OM2N is perhaps $40 or $50 higher than
that of a 'normal' wildlife friendly OM2N in the same condition.
