Restoration Advice

I think it's a Russian Model, as it was dug up in Russia !!
Believe it or not, somebody actually tried to beat the toggle back (I wish he'd left it alone). I know these Russian Diggers sometime dig up pistols and get them to shoot, usually tokarev's though.
On the broomhandle forum, I met a guy who cut up a Early Cone hammer C96 for parts. I would have left it a Wall-hanger.
I know another guy with a heavily pitted Bergman - Bayard, he got it to cycle (Not shoot) even though he didn't take it apart.
Thanks for all the great advice ! Jimbo
