Ballistol?
I was just posting some pics of a rifle sold at the David Swan auction in 2015 and which is currently up for sale at Holts and I noticed just how shiny the gun had become in the Holts' pics. It's not the first time I've noticed this but it's a really obvious example of 'tarting' up the gun for the photos because there are also pics of the gun in its 'non-Ballistolled' state too to compare them against.
It's a fine line between presenting something for sale in its best possible light and trying to show it as 'more than it is'. I suppose it comes down to the intent of the seller. Is he trying to tempt buyers (perfectly legitimate) or trying to cover up blemishes (illegitimate)?
