I thoroughly degrease my barrels and then coat them with Formby’s satin finish ting oil. Wipes on easily and dries hard within a day. Does not flake and if it wears it it very easy to replace. Just use acetone to remove and redo. Almost as easy as cleaning a double. Really surprising how bright old, original Damascus finish can be. The finish has very little solid to it and flows easily, eliminating streaking and does not fill engraving.
