Alex, One followup to LP08's and the other members good advice, the fireing pin will not be fluted on your pistol if it is original or not changed out for the fluted kind which lets high pressure gas escape from a punctured primer. It is a good idea to find a fluted fireing pin to use when shooting this pistol. The Germans changed them for a reason. Jerry Burney
Ps. I agree that triple aught steel wool and much gun oil will not harm blueing in my experience but I wish our gunsmithing member,PoliceLuger, could elaborate some of his knowledge and experience concerning what it does etc. I am always willing to learn something new...
Also , congratulations, give your Fathers friend a hug and a kiss...he deserves it.
