    Military Holster Care

    Does anyone have a suggestion for cleaning and maintaining WWi and WWii Leather Holsters. I have some that have a "GREEN" waxy substance around the brass rivits, is there anything that can be applied to reduce this crud ? Its like the brass and leather have a chemical reaction to each other.What have some of you old timers used as far as leather dressing.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.
