How to get new leather/hide old ?

Finally, we made the sheath "somehow old" (ethanol treatment and flame annealing). "Original" sheath looked like this: http://www.oriental-arms.com/item.php?id=3912(the sword was bought years ago from Artzi and Avner). The wooden body of the sheath was new that time, so we decided to replace the leather (also new taht time) and the fittings. After several attempts it is not so bad, I think final result is better, than it was before.
Thanks for consultation.
