A few pics are attached to show my progress. I think I shall continue to clean for a bit and then stop and look for someone to turn the gun over to for addl cleaning and TLC, and, as part of the cleaning process, engage in a conversation about what is causing the hammer not to cock and what it would take to fix.

Pam, what chemical or product did you use on "Pawpaw's" old Russian that cleaned the dull rusted areas and left the Nickel unscathed ?

You believe at my age I never attempted anything like that ?

Brava, to you, for your courage and determination ! You girls have it all over us guys with the cosmetic process. Well, most "guy" type guys ... that is. (That's "guy" with U in between).
