Interesting - I believe that's exactly the same reason why neatsfoot oil works so well on horn: it is rendered from the shin bones of cattle. And so being a natural bovine-sourced product, the horn 'knows' what to do with it. And the difference neatsfoot can make to old horn scales can be incredible. The OP asked about preservation, but if you ever need to restore or rejuvinate old dried-out beat up horn scales, give them a good soak and the difference can be amazing.
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

I've never tried neatsfoot oil, have to buy some, if I can find it in Sweden!
But I'm sure it's perfect for scales!Last edited by Lemur; 09-15-2012 at 02:37 PM.
