Well, it could be an inlay on a box or something! I think you need to do one with the rooster and the pig as well! ;)
So back on this pearl W&B, it looks pretty good from a running horse on the outside, the aforementioned grunge on the inside of the liners.

Closer inspection shows crud in the details.

A good scrub with a damp toothbrush dipped in barkeep's friend and a little scrap of scotchbrite on the inner liners will get it off..A light trip to the buffer.
The pearl is not glued to the liners, but held on by the inner and outer pins.
A lift with a razor blade shows the gunk in-between...Again, typical.

A sheet of printer paper, cut into strips, wet with WD40 and slid back and forth, gently squeezing, followed by dry strips will get that out after a while. Try to pull it out.
Gently going...

Much cleaner and nicer!

Now to go around the outside of the liners with some Scotchbrite and Maas polish/Renwax them.
I will then proceed as in this thread: http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...op-liners.html
