The way to tell the scabbard was repainted is by the irregular finish seen. There should be nor ripples, edges or craters where the original coating was damaged then coated again when incorrect surface preparation was performed. There are ways to correct the finish and then reapply a good finish coat. I would not use anything but Connolly Hide Care on previously sealed leather. When using it do not over apply as not much is needed to refurbish the leathers condition.
