Other than the fact that you received the gun from your dad, the model 13 is not considered rare or collectable.
Since Hoppe's #9 contains ammonia, I would not use it on the plated surfaces of your gun, as it can harm the nickel if left on the surface too long. There are many fine cleaners and CLP products out here that do not contain harmful chemicals.....like M-Pro7, or Break-Free for example.
Those who think otherwise, and believe Hoppe's #9 is harmless to nickel will be along in a moment.....
