Holster care and preservation question

Well the results are in. I applied it to an old cracked and scuffed day planner per the instructions.

It is by no means a miracle restorer, but the leather is once again subtle and plyable with a nice understated shine after mild buffing with a soft cloth.

According to the bottle... "Kali Leather Life Protein Lotion. Cleaner/Conditioner for Fine Leathers. Replaces natural oils / Protects from moisture. Helps maintain resilience. Increases resistance to cracking, scuffing, splitting. Restores natural gloss. Dissolves dirt & wax. Leaves no oily residue... Helps remove mold and mildew."

Guess I'll put it on my P08 holster tonight. BTW, its part of a complete 1938 S/42 rig, very unmessed with with 2 matching mags. The only odd thing is a much earlier loading tool (1934-5, marked either W54 or W15 or 18? = hard to make out exactly). This holster and loading tool came from the same veteran that also supplied me with an interesting left handed P-38 holster. Both items captured in 1944.
