IIRC my bayonet looked like that and it was just dried on cosmoline.
Some hot water and one of those scrubbers made for Teflon pans did the trick.

If you cant get a definite answer maybe try different methods upping the cleaning intensity as you go... If it is oil try hot water, soapy water, then move up to trying mineral spirits.
If it is an etching maybe even try some light acid like lemi shine dishwasher cleaner or go to some sort of polishing abrasive... Just some suggestions.

There are no "Letter" SKS from 1954.
An unissued rifle wouldn't be covered in stock dings. An unissued rifle is not a real thing anyway without provenance, as-issued perhaps.
All SKS were fired.
The original finish is dark garnet shellac. If you sand the stock the value is basically gone so make sure you want to keep the rifle.

I should re-read Curtton's sticky every couple of months, I keep learning new thing (or finally "get" things)!
It seems that many un-refurbed SKS have a matte gold bayonet that can be cleaned off, which suggests that the stuff may be some sort of preservative.
There is also the shiny gold bayonet which I think should be held in high regard and kept the way it is. Now....if someone would just tell me what it is for.

Shiny gold bayonet are protective coated like the matte ones. They are shiny because some bayonet are polished and some are not.
