Quote:Best 'modern' solution I've found is Ballistol. Good for leather, wood, metal (ferrous and precious) and all manner of other stuff.
Doesn't go sticky, doesn't attract dirt and smells pretty good too.
Apparently produced from a specification for the German Army in 1904 and used until 1945 by them, the object was to have a universal oil with some medicinal properties.. that could be used on all equipment.. so for metal wood and leather, its alkaline in nature.... sounds ideal, curiously enough I bought a bottle a few weeks ago to try it out...

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
