My first attempt at cleaning with citric acid

Nothing wrong with relics!

But it seems your "relics" don' t have the same value.
A very humble M40 without insigna vs a relic SS white camo.


For linseed, this is a little tip :
When your linseed turn into yellow due to the ligh and UV, you can remove it with turpentine.
And use Cartham oil, who' s less yellow, but dry slowly than a linseed oil.

Regarding Relics ..I collect both but I have to tell you that every time friends comes to see my collection they all become fixated with the relics they have a character of their own...
