I recall back in the 60's, maybe into the early 70's, the Herter catalog store out of Waseca, Minn (for those of you who know what I'm referring to), used to sell some gun stock finish that they referred to be like 'London Oil Finish'! Loved that place, used to pour over a new catalog every year when my Dad would get one, would about wear it out until a new one came.Thought they were the "bees-nee's"! By the time I reached early 20's, some friends and I used to make the 100 mile trip straight north of our town to Herters in Waseca. Was always a fun and interesting Saturday trip! Bought several of the gunstock refinish kits from Herters back then, but can't recall if any of them were of the London variety, but they did a nice job on wood stocks.
