Thank you both. I just ordered a book by Charles Pate. I think the title was Model 3 American Model? I will also obtain your recommended book, Gary, because;

I also have received: a Winchester rifle Model 189x? My serial number = year 1913; a darling little 5 shot number w pearl grips - I believe a 44; and, 2 British bulldog copies. So, shame on me for starting/learning on the Model 3, Queen of the Castle.

Re the ivory, I’m only thinking of cleaning back side (ahem). I’ll follow your cautious approach.

Has anyone ever used (on ivory:”): “Renaissance Groom/Stick Archival Natural Rubber Knead Cleaner Molecular Trap 100 Grams”. Reviews? Too obscure?

Happy Easter,
Pam
