Bryan is absolutely correct. This holster came by these damages from overoiling the pistol/magazine/tool and the oils seeped into the leather..over time it reacts like a burn, turning the leather brittle and black, just like it was burned. This is quite common actually..I have seen many examples over the years.

A cure or repair? A time machine comes to mind.
