Another word for patina is crud. On stocks, scrub them with soap and water. If the finish disappears then all you had was a dirt and oil finish and now you need to refinish. Most old Parkers could use at least a top coat of french polish, tru oil, formbys or what ever you like that is a shellac and oil finish. Post photos if you want particular advise. Out chasing Huns this morning. Too hot and I'm just sitting back now listening to pheasants cackle at each other.
