Thread: Tips on preserving old leather

I've got a leather bandolier which I'm pretty sure I've identified as an NZ Boer war era infantry one (shame it's not mount rifles to go with the Carbine, but I do have a saddle bag). So it's around 130 years old, quite good condition for the age, no cracking but quite stiff in places. I don't want to use it for anything, but how should I go about preserving it without hurting its originality/value?
Any thoughts? Cheers
