Well the pistol is apart. The original screw gave me some issues but i got it off without breaking. It dose thread into the other side where the after market screw is. So thats some good news.

Other good news is the grips both match the pistol. So aside from the mag this is 90% matching.

Im not trying to sound dumb or anything but when ya'all say soak do you me submerge the pistol in oil or just hose it down in a pan? Its ready to go just need to hose or submerge. 2 days be long enough?

I think im going to reblue it and learn how to do gold inlay. Since this wont be sold ascetics i would like it too look good. If its fire-able then all the better take it out once and be done. Ill let a gunsmith determine if the barrel is compromised in any ways. The mag cleaned up well as well as the minor rusting on the Styer Hahn M1912.

Step by Step pics will follow after all done. Ill just be giving highlights in posts till then.
