Anyone have a [horde find] like mine

Comparing with my other ek2's this
one is spraypainted looking?

Hello Phil
I've tried to take some pics, but the
difference don't show.
Lousy camera?
I thougt other crosses from the (find)
had the same core to compare with

Well there is a chance someone treated it with some oil based substance that it would preserve better

Thanks for your answers
Like you say Dansson maybe it's some
oiltreatment it's that special shine
Imo looks awful
Remove or leave it be?

Jorge, please post pics. Dont do anything if you are not sure what you're doing.
If it's oil then just take some toilet paper and very gently wipe it. The paper will be greasy if it's oil.

Like he said ... be careful .
Pure-Oil is not that great to use . It will slowly 'dry' out and become sticky ! I mean sticky .... all the dust sticks to it !
Absolutely do not use any penetrating oil ( like WD-40 etc... )- it can and probably will lift and flake the paint !!!
A wax coating is better .

Douglas,

I have a cross that I know that has been treated with WD 40,
I had understood that WD 40 or CRC will dry away in matter of a few days?

Ballistol is often used in Germany. I have tried it and it works. But will leave a residue. It's possible to apply, whipe dry after a day then apply renaissance wax. = good results

Thank you!
I have heard renaissance wax is good and looks like it deserves a try!

All the best,
