I've had a pair that is 40 years old or so. They seem great. Other than the common sense approach to clean them with maybe soapy water, any other tips and/or solvents to use or satay away from?

I emailed Pachmayer  and they have not replies.

Thanks - Cheers

Photo- stick to warm soapy water- that's it. I had an issue with another brand- seems Deet and rubber don't mix too well so I would stay away from any Diethyl anything....

Good-0, that's what I was thinking. They are a truly great product - 40 years and still like new.

I keep the rubber clean and supple with a gentle scrub with 1/10 soapy water and toothbrush. Sweat and oils have turned others light grey over time. As for the brass medallions a Q-tip and a drop of Flitz and lightly scrub face until happy with the emerging shine. I leave deep shadowing to show off the lions or the beautiful DW logos.range-time
