Does treating a holster reduce its value?
I just received a 1906 Swiss Luger with its holster. The holster is in good shape but the leather is dried out. Will it harm its value if I treat it with Neatsfoot oil or baseball glove oil?

Use lanolin only...no oils. That's what Jerry Burney (Lugerholsterrepair) uses.
