Thanks for the tip, Doc. This gun sat untouched in its holster in an underwear drawer for 60 years! It is amazing to me that the finish is as near pristine as it is. I have cleaned and oiled very thoroughly since I've had it, but am fearful of doing any damage to the finish. You are right in that I have taken nothing apart, not even the grips. I am not unfamiliar with the cleaning and maintenance of firearms, but this one is special and I appreciate any helpful tips such as yours.
