Was bored and surfing the web last week when I saw this link that said "Syracuse Deluxe"; interest level thus tweaked, I clicked on the link and saw 3 pix of a pre-1902 vintage OO Grade Syracuse gun laying atop an old "mutton leg" leather case. And although this was a low-grade SAC gun, it was obviously in high condition; so I corresponded with the seller and finally picked up the gun last evening from my FFL. This is the closest to new condition SAC gun I've seen or handled; not a single screw has been turned since it left its maker, and the gun retains nearly all original case colors, blue, and wood finishes. The gun came from a seller in Indiana, and gave me this story. He purchased the gun from a 83 year local guy who told him that his grandfather had purchased the gun and leather case new. He used the gun only a few times then gave the gun to his grandson as a birthday gift, who subsequently used the gun a single time; then placed the gun back inside it's "mutton leg" case where it stayed until it was sold to the seller. The serial number and production features date this gun to 1901, and I honestly don't think this thing has received any attention since it was entombed inside its case. I don't plan to disassemble the gun for cleaning (will leave that to the pros); but will clean outside metal surfaces. But I'm not sure of the wood, which is obviously bone dry; what should I rub onto/into wood surfaces to nourish the wood a bit? The leather case remains in good condition (still has the little skeleton lock key tied by a string on the buckle), but is also dry as an old bone with some of the original stitching dry-rotted; what is the best product to rub into, and condition the leather a bit? I believe I've handled and examined as many SAC guns as anyone(?)and most have been shot hard, carried, used, abused, and neglected so that it was impossible to make an accurate assessment of the original quality of the piece. Although this example is SAC's low-end Grade OO gun, I am thoroughly impressed as to the quality of workmanship exhibited; the wood to metal fit is prefect, and all screws are perfectly aligned. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Tom
