Luger and Browning surprise...saved again

Frank, I would gently wipe down the holsters with white vinegar. Acetone won't hurt either. It's used to clean leather. The holster might have been dyed but since it's a 1940 the back might just have had the black worn off. Look on the inside panel and tool pouch. Whatever color those are is the holsters original color.

Interesting, the interior is brown, same as back...so it must have been dyed. Neet... does brown mean anything? For branch of service.?
