Hiya. Many of you have helped me do some initial cleaning of Grandpa Osmer’s Model 3, Old Old Russian. I have yet another question regarding the conservation of this revolver:
I saw a recommendation here for use of Birchwood Casey blue&rust remover so tried it on a rusted part of the sideplate. The product (and assume similar such products) did a nice job of turning the Dark rust damaged metal into a silvery appearance. So, the question to you collectors: do I lighten the very significant dark rust damage on the barrel or do I leave it au natural?
I’ve learned: I attached a picture of treated sideplate and non-treated barrel. Again, thanks for guidance.
Pam
