You can get it on line I believe. I bought a bunch back in the day which came from England and I haven't used it all yet. Purdey once sold the alkanet stock coloring oil that they used on their guns. I prefer to make my own alkanet oil, but Purdey may still sell it.
I also tried the Purdey oil and slackum process of finishing stocks using their oil and slackum. I gave that up on American guns because I didn't see any real advantage to it and it takes more time to get it right. Although it does look great on Purdey guns.
I used the oil and slackum method to refresh a bespoke Harrison and Hussey top grade gun. But I used it only because that is the way the stock was originally finished back in the early twenties in London.
