Thanks, Paul. I took out all the screws and scrubbed it good with Murphy's oil Soap and warm water. It's drying now over very low heat. My inlay is not very black, even after cleaning. It might could do with some staining to get the really black color back.

BTW, I was impressed at how many of the wood screws are parallel sided screws, very well made. Inlay screw, buttplate screws and trigger guard tang screws are all made like this.
