Removal of paint from holster

Jerry - I went out and bought some black Kiwi Leather Dye and was about to apply it when I noticed that the stitching on the holster is brown, a noticeably different color from the leather. I then looked at the holster again and decided it really doesn't look that bad, after all! So I didn't do anything. Thanks very much for gently talking me out of doing something I might have regretted later.

The metal D-rings on the belt loops...I assume I can remove them without messing with any historical significance.
