David, that is what I have always heard. If it is a good leather artifact then leave it alone. If it is a shabby thing with little value then it is OK to try to 'pretty' it up and 'feed and caress' it since it does not have much value to lose. I think that the reason there are any minty specimens of Lugers and holsters is that people didn't fuss so much with them in the past (they survived their owners attentions). In other words, we as collectors can be our own worst enemies.
