No, it really isn't so bad. I have a very light Swiss holster here that had a couple of light scuffs. It's still as light as the day I got it, even after minor touch-ups.

Lighting differs quite a lot during photography. Using studio lights and a light box can create completely different lighting than direct sunlight for example. For the book I photographed the Chinese P08. The auction photos show it as a very light blue gray pistol, when in fact it was partially black-blue with a very discolored plum/golden toggle.

You may note (and that is why I posted the before/after) that the holster had a couple of areas where the top layer was scuffed away, exposing the light lower layer. With some minor cosmetic touch-ups these are now less visible (almost gone). And no, this holster will not turn into a pile of dust or evolve into a self-conscious living entity because of it
