A Really Nice eBay Find & a Question

gfors · #1 10-13-2020, 11:04 PM

I was looking for a basic holster for my model 27 Dash two, when I came across this slightly used item on eBay. I don’t recognize the maker, but it looked like a well-made holster, with basket-weave tooling. About the same price as a plain Jane, new Galco ($75). The seller never mentioned that it was leather lined which was a very pleasant surprise.
I really want to maintain this thing in as good condition as possible. What’s the best way to treat the leather, especially the scuffs on the inside and the rough area at the bottom of the belt loop?
Thanks for any help.
George

Blackrock Leather ‘n Rich is often recommended on this forum for use on older, scratched and tired looking leather holsters. I have used it to good effect myself. You can purchase it from Amazon.

Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll order some.

That’s a nice holster!

I can’t see anything that needs fixing or touch up. Old fashioned neutral shoe polish won’t hurt it.

There are a bunch of members here that have made more holsters than most people have ever seen that will probably be along to offer their expertise.
