Fritzer, Thanks! Glad you surfaced. I appreciate the information. I really need to send for one of these things and try it out on a trashed holster. We don't have that much moisture here in Yuma for a good test though.

Luke, It's probably a harmless substance like I said. It comes off very easily. Some holsters I have get it and some never do so I suspect it's a result of past treatment. It may stop over a period of time.

I need to get a powerfull microscope to really look at this stuff close up.

Luke, You are right, we need someone with more knowledge than we have here. There must be someone with the right credentials and real World experience, like a leather conservator at the Smithsonian or some other Museum that deals wit antique leather artifacts.
