Not sure what all to say here but looky what my kids found in the back yard! We only have 1/2 an acre in the suburbs of the Twin Cities and half of it is wooded. At first I figured it was a toy as they have dug up all sorts of trash and old toys from generations past. Then I picked it up and it felt more like a real gun. Scrubbed off some of the dirt and saw F&W on the grips.
I understand even if this was in excellent condition it would not be over $100 but it is a cool story that my children found it. But I would like to clean it up and get off as much rust as possible. What would be a good solvent to use (metal restore?).
The rust and pitting is is enough where I doubt I'll ever be able to get any serial numbers or other markings.
Let me know what you all would do to restore this to make it a cool wall hanging or conversation piece. (oh, and if you can identify the exact model, let me know!)
