Olle, This is not a strong candidate for restoration in my opinion. The main reason, there are three reasons..one is the hinge. The other is the amount of parts needing replacement. Third is the paint specs. These CAN be removed but often they have soaked in enough to remove surface leather when they are pried off. Still the hinge kills it for me. It could separate at any time. Then.. any work and $ put into it is lost.
What's it worth as is? It has very little that's salvegeable for other repair holster use. If I saw it on a gun show table I would offer $20.
