Holster Restoration Advice Needed

[stomper4x4]

Hi gang,

I'm going to restore this holster for someone. It needs some stitching repair, a new snap, and things like that which are pretty easy.

However they requested that I try and remove the scuff marks as much as possible and I wondered if anyone has any tricks or tips on doing that.

I THINK this holster is veg tan because the edges are burnished, but I'm not 100% sure on that. It seems to have some wax finish on it,

I'm not sure about stripping the wax, redying, or whatever might work. Also I think it would be nice to somehow keep that old patina that it has.

Anyway, any thoughts?

Thanks!

I have minimized a lot of scuffs and abrasions, and enhanced the look of veg tanned and even work boots with Fiebing's Aussie Leather Conditioner. Some of the blemishes disappear and it's hard to tell it is the same piece of leather. It also makes the leather more flexible without taking away the character. I think most leather supply houses sell it for around $10.00/15oz.
