Emmebi has quite a website which may give you some ideas. Emmebi made the Repro cases and is a big casemaker for the European trade. I would use a clear wax rather than oil.

I would not use anything but a damp cloth if it gets dirty. With the canvas cover, the case should never need any kind of treatment. My 2 Repro cases are nearly 30 years old and look brand new. Any type of leather treatment will probably darken the leather.

Joe has a good point. Most of the old abused looking cases we see look that way because they were abused, oiled, or spent too much time outdoors. I have 100 year old trunk cases that look new with no treatment.
