Started cleaning it a bit with some WD-40 (just rubbing it with a cloth to clean the surface a bit) and it's not as bad as the pictures show it to be. It's got some shiny black under a little bit of rust and you can actually see the .32 LONG CTG on the barrel much more clearly. I guess that's good sign? Also, the firing mechanism and hammer move fine and feel study. Same with the chamber hinge.

If you're finding signs of bluing still left (the shiny black), I would use the ATF/acetone soaking. It will not remove bluing! Don't use the Eastwood, Naval Jelly or acid products, they will remove any bluing that might still exist. Bluing is a controlled rusting process. We don't want to get too aggressive at first.
