So I pick up a beautiful S&W 629-2 mountain revolver last week from the original owner, with box, paperwork and cleaning kit. When I was purchasing it, it looked spotless. So I made the deal and took it home. When I got home I immediately took off the grips and there was surface rust on the frame under the grips... I was so upset, because the rest of the gun was flawless. I got most of it off, but there is still blackish spots in the metal where the rust was. So my question to the group would be, should I sent it to S&W to re-bead blast it? Or leave it how it is? Or is there anything else I can do? I don't want to make it less valuable than it kind of is. I know it's worth less now there are the spots in the frame under the grip. Please help. Thanks in advance for the info!

Mine is that way too. It was the OEM rubber grips.
Clean it up and use it as is.
