Hugh, Flanders? Might have been Mississippi mud. To preserve history you had best consider good preservation techniques. That holster and stock iron need it. You had best look inside the iron. Delicate springs and screws in there need help. Rust NEVER sleeps. You can put a coat of lanolin on the holster..then wipe it off..it will help remove crud and soften the exterior leather..if you start bending the holster anywhere dry it will start cracking..that cannot be reversed.
