<p>[QUOTE="Nyatii, post: 8271460, member: 85686"]Great souvenir. Nice heirloom. It can be conserved. The rust is removed by boiling in water. It likely would have some pitting, but it's hard to tell. I've seen rusted guns come out pretty good with a lot of bluing left. Last thing you want to do is take steel wool or sandpaper to it. It's better off leaving as is rather than doing that. </p><p><br /></p><p>My father was at Normandy. He was with the Engineers that first hit the beach.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
