1. I will make the before and after pics here. I lemon oiled, tung oiled, and cleaned and oiled the metal. This is as is. The wood was so dry it took four coats of tung oil to before it stopped soaking it in.

BEFORE 1917 DWM 98 WITH IMPERIAL GERMAN PROOFSTAMPS

That brought out the wood color variation around the bottom of the stock quite nicely.;)

Looks great! Mine is dry too, same markings, 1918. What a bargain at $129 IMO. I'll give a good report of mine later in the week if possible.
