soak the pistol in marvel mystery oil..or atf...and leave it for a month or so...should loosen up the crud and rust...and not damage the patina...

I found one like that ...........but it was only a toy.....................great find.....hope you can get it working.........

Since it was found in AZ. I think the chances are good that maybe you can get it working. I'd soak it in something for a long time and just maybe, it might come alive

You are right about the az. rust - it is just surface rust. I will try soaking it again. thx for your reply
