I appreciate all the comments and advice. I did put gun oil on the metal surfaces after taking photos. It was dry in the photos. It shines like a new penny.
It was a gift from my mother-in-law. She had earlier given me and another son in law identical FN 98 Mauser's still packed in cosmoline. I cleaned mine up and still hunt with it. He pawned his within a month for $50. She then gave me the Parker. He never got one. It was her way of testing.
I have two daughters with fine husbands, but they are not appreciative of the fine workmanship this firearm represents. I did give them both "test" rifles a while back and they still have them.
I'm new to forums in general. Bear with me because I do not know all the rules and etiquette.
