How Much Cleaning...?

Pete Ebbink · 03-03-2004, 01:56 PM

Would like to get some opinions on how much cleaning is enough when a collector-grade luger is brought home.

I know one local collector that cleans his guns so throughly, they look like they just came from the factory. I think he even cleans up the rust/patina with application of Flitch or Simichrome.

Another collector near me uses an ultra-sonic cleaner/bath...

Seems like they are throughly cleaned but in the process the signs of age are removed (i.e. rust, patina, old caked-on grease and cosmoline, etc.)

Regards,
