John,

I just posted my first question here yesterday and have gotten some very useful information. I believe you answered a question for me about holster storage. I've never had to preserve a Luger holster before, but have gotten some advice from a Civil War buff on leather preservation.

All his Civil War leather goods have almost an extra 100 years of age on any WWII stuff.

He cautioned me to steer clear of Neatsfoot oil. He said long term, it will cause leather to rot. He strongly recommended a product called Pecard's Leather Treatment. I've since used Pecard's on the couple of Civil War leather items that I have.

Not undoing buckle and strap is another good idea to preserve that part of the holster.

Since I'm new here, I'll allow other members to either add to or dispute my input.

Jason
