Max, Neatsfoot oil is a leather killer. It was developed to weaken the fiber in leather for stiff shoe soles. I do not recomend it's use on any leather item , EVER! If any of you Forum members have a can of it laying around, I suggest you dispose of it in an enviromentally friendly and responsible way. There have been many words of advice written on the Forum about leather care. I recomend you track down the fine article Marvin wrote about leather care in the general information section. This is an important subject for most Luger collectors so they do not apply something to collector leather that will destroy it.
And congratulations on finding something like that! Hope it works out. Pose for a photo when you get it all together and post it! Thanks and good luck. Jerry Burney
