I've got what I believe to be a 91/38 Cav. Carbine that was produced in 1940. The finish is beginning to get a little worn from use (mine). It belonged to my grandpa, and was my first "real rifle". I'd like to redo the finish on the stock. This rifle has never been touched by Buba and I want to keep it correct in all respects. Does any one know for certain what was used on them at the time of manufacture as a finish?
I do have the bayonet. But the forces that be, have made it for some reason, illegal to have it mounted and carry it in the field. So it has been removed for functional reasons only. Never could understand that law.
