Re: Linseed oil on the patina??
If you go with the linseed oil I would urge you to use it mixed 50/50 with turpentine. Something to consider is what I have used on my trucks finish that is mostly surface rust is Johnson's Paste Wax. Works quite well and easy to work with.
A warning on the linseed oil. Be sure to lay your rags out flat to dry or they will spontaneously combust and possibly burn your house down.
