Raw leather holster made in India wouldn't accept my 1911A1 .45 pistol. I liberally applied Hubetrd's Shoe Grase inside and out and jammed the pistol inside and twisted it back and forth until it was well seated. Then I kept it in a plastic bag overnight. When I removed it from the bag I found it has molded itself tom the pistol and add it absorbed the Huberd's, it became softer and took on a dark, rich antique golden brown that prominently displays the embossed US. Looks like a true vintage holster now.
