I would lube the seals on the cylinder and pistol with a 'full synthetic' oil, just a few small drops. The trigger and cocking mechanism I would use a dry lube or a touch of FWB or Walther grease applied using a toothpick.
I’ve acquired a beautiful condition Walther CPM-1 with both solid and vented barrels.
Don’t think it’s been shot for a while. Will be putting some co2 in it and carefully testing this week (being cautious after my CP3 problems!!!)
Would appreciate some recommendations on which oil to use for lubricating the trigger assembly and cocking mechanism as everything looks very ‘dry’.

The best oils to use on seals is Pelgun oil or automatic transmission fluid. I have heard they are the same thing
