No anything on the leather IMHO... the lexol or anything else you might have used is intended for making leather ready for use... not preservation of an historical artifact. My Dad's unit fought in eight major campaigns... he survived them all with only two purple hearts and a bronze star, and a battlefield commission to 2nd Lieutenant...
Algeria-French Morocco (8 - 11 Nov 1942)
Tunisia (7 Nov 1942 - 13 May 1943)
Sicily (9 Jul - 17 Aug 1943)
Normandy (6 Jun - 24 Jul 1944)
Northern France (25 Jul - 14 Sep 1944)
Rhineland (15 Sep 1944 - 21 Mar 1945)
Ardennes-Alsace (16 Dec 1944 - 25 Jan 1945)
Central Europe (22 Mar - 11 May 1945)
Never on the eastern front... perhaps one of the other members can provide you some good historical publications references.
