Finish Repair
With a little practice, you can soak a cleaning patch with linseed oil, put the patch around your finger, dip it in orange shellac and rub away the bare spot. Sometimes it is necessary to blend the patch with 0000 steel wool. Clean the stock with mineral spirits before you try to patch with shellac, to remove old grime and wax.
You may occassionally find a Parker stock finished with oil or varnish but 95% plus are shellac, rubbed on with oil ie "french polish"
