I picked up a World War II Garandicon sling and...it looks it. The leather is not cracked anywhere, but it is dirty and has not been cared for.

Question:

Should I go ahead and clean it up, or leave as is?

What's considered the better way to treat a historic sling. I'd like to use it on my WWII era Garand.

Thanks for any advice.
