That gives me hope that the Trapdoor of mine that my father has might be restored to functioning order as well... Though, that said, everything I read online seemed to indicate that dismantling firearms of that age was generally not recommended. Are you going to be using this as a showpiece, or actually shooting it? Hm.

College buddy of mine had one that his father gave him. My friend cleaned it up and even did some electrolytic rust removal (converting the rust back into steel) after which we shot the heck out of it. Love those guns.

Turned out better than most I've seen. You probably won't get much more out of it as that pretty much looks like their normal finish. No doubt you can find lots of examples on the Intertube to compare it too. Looks like you have a very nice piece of history. Turned out better than most I’ve seen.
