[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 3275647, member: 13284"] This is not the first time that I have saw this exact recommendation for Luger grips (on Gunboards). Honestly, I'm a little shocked that purist collectors would use an oil with plasticizers added. It's pretty much the furthest thing from a correct or original finish. I've used Tru-Oil once and will never do so again. It's easy to apply, but is far too glossy and plastic feeling. Both would concern me if I was working on a checkered grip with a matte appearance. I would also be a little hesitant to expose a checkered wood grip to water in the event that the raised grain will cause further definition loss to the checkering. Oil acts as a great cleaner by itself as long as the surface contaminants are wiped off and it won't change the existing patina that the grips have acquired over the years. [/QUOTE]
