sandpaper, wire brush, scotch brite pads, really anything abrasive. You can make imitation barb wire cuts with a knife if your careful, bug bites can be made with a knife as well.
To make em stand out use a leather "antique" finish. It will fill the scars and scuffs with a darker medium and give the leather an old look. You can also get that antique look with a good paste wax and a lot of patience, daubing it in and wiping off to create spots.
Be sure to protect the newly scarred leather with a good leather conditioner and wax. I dont suggest a sealer that is acrylic based as it will only cause the leather to look plastic like.
Hope this helps.
Daytime TV! lol!
