Mish, I did'nt see any "severe" rust spots.If it's just surface freckling. Coat it with a good quality gun oil and let it sit for a day or two. Wipe it down with a soft cloth, and coat it again. This will help kill the rust and remove some of it. If there is no pitting. I would leave it as is. As original as possible. A very,very nice heirloom. I am envious.
