Mark, You might try Neatsfoot Oil. It was developed to soften up stiff new leather soles on shoes. Normally I would not recommend it on a vintage holster as it would soften up the hardshell. But since thats whats needed...

This is the best I can come up with untill you find a leather expert.

If you do this, let me know what happens.
