Default leather stock protector damage

Does anyone have a comment on how to restore a stock which has had a leather laced protector on it for what looks to be a long time? The stock is in great condition overall save for the very obvious back half which has faded/rubbed the original finish over time.
I would like to attempt a refinish. Will the affected area (and rest of the stock) require a refinish, or can the affected area be "touched up" to correct things?
I'd love to hear any opinions/experience regarding this unfortunate use of such "protective" devices.

Best,
