So we will disagree on that point.
Do you prefer to see a clean and oiled Luger or do you prefer to see years of grease and dirt packed into the crevases? And how about those patches of well earned rust? Would you try to halt its progression, or is that part of the gun's history, not to be disturbed?
Yes, I'm being obstinate...

Hi David, Neutralizing active rust is not the same as cleaning grips. You, of course, are free to do as you wish with your guns, but I personally feel that new looking grips are out of place on a gun that "has been through the wars".
