Condition the leather and a lot of that paint or whatever it is will drop off. Leather that dry looking will come back a lot better than you think but it will take time.

Kevin McCormack refurbished some old LOM leather cases for me. When they got back from him and I saw the change in the leather I was amazed. I contacted him and asked what he used to do it, he told me he first used a product which I cannot remember the name of, as a cleaner. Then he conditioned it with Blackrock Leather-N-Rich. I bought the Leather-N-Rich and use it regularly to rejuvenate leather and keep it healthy. Wish I could remember the name of the product he recommended for the initial cleaning step. I realize this product has already been mentioned but thought I'd add my endorsement of it, FWIW. https://www.blackrock-leather.com
May God bless America and those who defend her.

another useful product to recondition and preserve leather is Bick 4, which can usually be found at boot shops....it's what my go-to leather guy has recommended.
best regards,

In my experience with the rigours of using the case the filling will fall out over time and look worse than when you started.
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Ordered Leather n' Rich yesterday and got the below email this morning. Talk about customer service.
Hi Mills,
I'm the owner of Blackrock Leather N Rich and I wanted to say thank you for your first purchase yesterday.
My grandfather started Blackrock in 1976 and I'm grateful to carry on this family legacy. It's only possible through your support.
If you have any questions about Blackrock, it may be answered here. If not, reply to this email and I'd be happy to answer your questions.
I love seeing what people are using Blackrock on so please share any before and after photos you may take.
Thanks again for your purchase!
Thomas

I would just like to say that the member eed has put a lot of effort in to retrieving from the past my how to post "Refitting of a traditional gun case" this can now be found in the "Diy Gunsmithing section".

Mills, I got a similar email after ordering the first time. I like supporting a small family business, if the product is as good as this one is.
