What would be a correct for a early-ish German wood finish? I am modifying a rifle built by my Dad and I am adding some Germanic elements and would like to finish it with an appropriate finish. Nothing tied to a specific era but thinking post-WWI-ish. It is a fairly plain, straight grained walnut originally made by someone like Fajen or similar back in the '60's. I don't need it to be authentic 'dragon's milk' but I would like it to look like it belongs...if that makes sense.
Thank you for any input!
