In some of the following photos you will see my Model 10 loaded with red snap caps. Although snap caps are for practice, they should be treated as real cartridges. My apologies for this error.
I recently purchased another Model 10 to go with my nearly pristine revolver my brother gave me.
I wanted to do a lot of practice, so I found this blemished 10-7. Both of my Model 10s are 1978-79....

This is right after I got it home. It was very dull, almost flat looking and it did have some areas of red rust. It cleaned up very nicely with some Flitz polish. I was really surprised how well it cleaned up.

Some type of substance was all over the right side of this revolver. Whatever was ran down the top of the barrel. It also spotted the bore in a tiny spot on that side.
I have my ideas on what it was.

Here it is with a set of vintage service stocks to match my other Model 10.
Mechanically the gun is like new. The spot in the bore has diminished significantly after several rounds of shooting.
I feel like it cleaned up well.
The old gun was abused and likely misused. Now it will be taken care of.
