Isn't it tannin (hence the name) used in the leather curing process?

I thought the tannin was acidic and THAT is what caused the stain on silver finishes.

In some countries they don't use a commercial chemical, they use... but we don't want to think about that.

Be that as it may, leather stains, tarnishes and pits silver finishes. I wouldn't advise using it.
