Help! How do you...

[Brian S.]

Greetings all!

I recently purchased a "Sanitatsverbandzeug". The pouch is in excellent condition, the leather is supple, no cracks, nor drying. The only problem, it reeks of cigarette smoke. My obvious question is; does anyone know of a way to remove the smoke smell, without damaging the pouch? The smell is not period, the seller is a known smoker. Any help would be great.

Hi Brian
If it was mine I would try with a moist rag and carefully try to clean it and see if that helpd or smell if that help
But I think the smell will wear off by time?
