I purchased a Luger that has what paint or something in all the markings and date code any ideas on how to clean?

A little gun oil and a soft toothbrush ought to clean these up. Don't try to remove anything from the GESICHERT, however.

Edward,
Thank you for the reply and information, very informative. I was wondering if you had seen my posting, about toggles and if you had any thoughts?
