Any further info. on where or the circumstances of the "pick-up"?
It seems fitting to wipe it down with light oil, free any stuck surfaces, and then let it live out the rest of days as an ornament.

Oil applied as soon as i got it. The son of vet said "My dad brought this back from the war". I wish I had more info, but he is in late stages of altzhiemers. The family is liberal to the core, and wanted it out of the house. It came in an old cigar box. Pistol was rusted and pitted, all i did was oil bath and rub with cotton cloth. I did not sand it, but looks like someone might have in the past. I really appreciate all your guys help and if you have more info, im all ears
