Default Erfurt Holster: Ren Wax b&a

I'm a big user of Ren wax - I've been using it for many years to clean up leather, refurbish pool cue shafts and even to refinish antique billiard cue butts after sealing. lately I've used it to refinish old revolver grips - applied in several layers after Danish Oil, it gives a great 1940's/1950's grip look. I've also used it a few times on guns, but have other products I prefer.

Here's the effect of one application/buffing on an old Erfurt 1918 holster, just in case any of you are looking for a non-intrusive clean-up wax. I only used it on the exterior of the holster. I realize this has been discussed ad infinitum, but I figured another successful example wouldn't hurt.
