Grip cleaning...

Good advice (the toothbrush) on how to clean up a collector grade Luger. One hears all kinds of 'home remedies' but a dry, soft bristle tooth brush is the best tool for 'dressing up' a collector grade Luger and not devaluing it. No steel wool, no detergents, no solvents, cleansers, cremes or polishes. If it is original then there is a patina to the metal, the wood and the leather that most serious collectors expect to see on an original grade Luger. Once it is removed it can't just be put back on.
