I have no idea what possesses people to do things like this, but Steelslaver is spot on about 'fixing' it. Since it's already damaged, you might consider sending it out for refinishing to someone like Ford (no, not the car company!). I'm guessing but cost would probably range around $300, but you would have the option of changing the finish to something you might like better, such as nickel. Of course doing this will devalue the gun, but the previous owner has already done that for you.
