Holster preservatives in the Deep humid South?

I believe two factors in common, heat and humidity. Are there records of what care was used for care in the Imperial or Weimer periods. What ever they used, I have hundred year old holsters that are in beautiful shape. Others, those in the trenches show wear as do my artillerys and early war. The finest is my Krieghoff which no doubt was owned by an officer who I assume had the most pride. I find them all fascinating and hold my idol Jerry Burney our historical leather hero! God I luv the history and the rare privaledge to hold in my hands and actually own and become care giver for those who will inherit my luger dreams! Each has survived many owners and war. What faired better the guns or their holsters, I wonder! PS Happy 4th!
