I can't decide

I have this 41 byf that I can't decide what to do with.

The pistol all matches and is a decent enough pistol.

However, there is what I consider to be some significant rust on the thing. Mostly on the barrel. Both sides and at the muzzle there is fairly heavy rust present. On the receiver there are also a couple of spots of what is living rust.

Rust is rust, as far as I know rust never stops unless it is removed. But removing rust also damages the finish.


I don't know which way to go. From looking at the picture below, can you suggest something?


Note, the pistol does NOT look as nice as the picture and I do not have much money in this pistol.


Any advice would be appreciated.


Thanks,

Mike
