NATO ammo can question!

[Spartan301]

Hello C&R Calgunners,

Picked up another ammo can for my collection at the Victorville Gun Show.

Gentleman I bought it from, said it was a post war (NATO 7.62x51) German style can, made in Finland.

$15, just thought it was cool. I like the bottle opener latch handle!

Looks to have been repainted and has some overspray on the leather covers on the top and side handles.

Is there a safe way to remove the overspray on the leather without hurting the leather?

Here are a couple of pics;





Thanks, Spartan301

You might try some Ballistol on the leather. No guarantees.

Try denatured alcohol

Very good, I'll give them a try.
