Help w/ info on 1941 maker production and value

Jerry, if I had it cleaned and re-dyed could I then represent it as an honest holster, say on this forum or would I have to disclose it as"restored"? Honestly, looking at the insect damage thru a magnifying glass, the pores in the leather are intact, so I think a refresh would indeed be worth it. After all, it was meant to be cared for and polished during it's actual service life, so a touch up and conditioning prior to attempting to sell it could, as you say, add value, without misrepresenting the provenance of the piece. Thanks to all for the advice.
