I'm working on redying a leather sword scabbard, and I'm not sure if I've damaged it or if this is what deglazing is supposed to look like.

For context, I deglazed the leather (or thought I did, but looking back I just covered it lightly with deglazer. I didn't really work it in much). Then I overdyed the red scabbard with blue. When I tried to rub off the extra dye, a ton came off, and I worried I might not have deglazed properly. So when I went back in with the deglazer, this happened.

For what it's worth, I'm 95% confident this is genuine leather, not bonded or fake. I can see parts of the rough side, and it looks and feels like the back of real leather.

Sorry if this is a silly question. Appreciate any insight!
