Pete, your comments about leaving well-enough alone as to the slight rust around the unit marking kind of makes sense to me. As I said earlier, this pistol sat virtually untouched in a drawer for 60 years and seems to have held up pretty well. For now, I just intend to keep it oiled and in a controlled temperature and humididty environment until I know a lot more about this piece and know with certainty that I am doing no harm.
Dave, I got your photos and will work on getting them posted for you soon. Thanks.
