Sorry no extra metal just the terrible, setting, lighting and cell phone I had to use to take the pictures.

Also got help from the magazine and grip guru and took it all the way down myself and cleaned it.

Grips really cleaned up and do not have that broken safety lever area on the wood and the magazine seemed to clean up to the level of the grips so might just keep it where its at for now.

I've been using Corrosion X on the metal until I get a chance to try Eezox but all the rust seemed to clean up with just corrosion x and a little CLP so no more red spots.

Thank you for the info on the pistol as well, I was not sure it would be that old so I'm really impressed by its condition now.

Now I'm just hoping to shoot it a few times around xmas time with family before it gets another round of protectant before being put in the safe.
