seized slide

Thanks for all your suggestions.
I finally got her apart. I was able to disconnect the main spring toggle and soaked it some more in WD 40 and Kroll. The toggle removal gave me another 2 or 3mm of slide. Enough to get a larger screw driver in there. A couple of careful pulls allowed me to open the slide lock.
To make a long story short, the frame was rusted to the slide. Never seen this on a gun before.

Well, TLC time

Thanks for all your suggestions.
