Most of us have classic holsters in our collections that were bought cheap because of damage, usually stitching. I've fixed some for people and here's a couple. The B-M (for a 2" Colt New Service) had torn and missing stitching (on the toe, spring, and top of main seam) and was scuffed up. The Heiser was modified per the owners wishes, and relaced and cleaned up. I used "Leather CPR" to clean up the leather on both. I hate seeing these old holsters go to waste. The re-stitching might not be perfect, but the holsters are useful again.
