I picked up what I believe to be a WWI Luger holster the other day that has some damage. It is a little dried out and the closing strap is torn completely off at the last hole. I have photos posted in the "Other Military Service Pistols and Revolvers' thread.

Looking around the net, I found several sources that note the strap has been replaced on various holsters they are selling so it is done.

I'm not looking to sell this but to use it in my displays but I don't want to destroy it's collectability if it has any by repairing it. My personal preference would be repaired. I'd also like to treat the leather so it doesn't get worse. It is pliable for the most part.

One other area is the small loop next to the clasp. That is very close to tearing in half, any way to stabilize it?
