I was given a holster that was carried in Vietnam by the man who carried it. The holster has sat in a closet for roughly the last 40 years or so, but is in pretty good shape.

This won't be a working holster for me but will be something that I'd like to take care of and keep. I've heard a lot of the stories that went along with this holster and I'm honored to have possession of it now.

At this point, I'm curious as to what some good leather products might be to use on it? I know most leather products on working holsters are a bad idea, but I want to make sure that I preserve this one as best as possible.

Thanks for the suggestions.
