Default 1938 s/42

Hello,

I've been lurking for a short while trying to learn as much as I can about a 1938 S/42 Luger with matching numbers I just acquired. I'm interested in opinions on its value, but I'm more interested in ideas on what I should do to treat the rust patina that covers a good bit of the barrel and grip. I have it in pieces now and internally it looks nearly brand new, and obviously has not been shot very much. All of the internals have very sharp edges and every part I've checked is matching. While the outside of the trigger plate is a matching number, the inside of the trigger plate has a 45 on it. What does this mean?

The person I bought it from told me that it has been in a drawer since he bought it twenty years ago. He purchased it from a pawn shop, but was told by them that it came from a veteran. It has no import marks. Any help is appreciated.
