RIG and Lugers

Marv,

your mentioning kerosene just made me think. Does kerosene do any damage to the finish? It seems like there would be a lot of old guns that would have old oil caked in tight places. What comes to mind would be the adjustible front sights on early artillery Lugers.

A long time ago, I suggested Vasoline Petrolium Jelly as a presevative on this forum. Nobody remarked to my suggestion. But I still wonder it it would do the job.
