Wes, Marvin, I just drove through Bailey a few hours ago...On my way back to Salida. I agree with Marvin here..Shoe polish is not used by anyone who wants to preserve a Luger holster. Like he says the pigments, waxes etc. get into the linen thread and are impossible to get out. Using any so-called preservative sparingly is the way to go. I have had some holsters where the only thing left to do is slather them with a solution to bring them back from death's door but for the holster that is in reasonable shape it is the wrong thing to do.
