One of the MANY stupid things I am guilty of comes to mind when I wore an Original 1915 dated Luger holster to a WW2 reenactment at Camp Atterbury Ind. It rained all day long and when I got back to camp that evening the the holster was ruined . Both belt loops , Pull strap , & Buckel strap broke ,& the holster was so saturated it lost its shape . And then there were the times I tried to preserve the original leather chin strap on a German Helmet and a canteen and ruined those things as well .I dont know why but it took the destruction of these things for me to finally learn to leave original 60 -90 year old leather alone ! Man ! , I'm such an idiot !
