Hi everyone, I've recently come into the posession of an 18th century flintlock pistol. It is quite beautiful in it's design (pictures to come). However, it is in slightly rough shape. The barrel, while still shiney, is showing large patches of dark rust begining to show on the barrel and the brass is turning almost a greenish color. Any recommendations? Someone suggested jewelry cleaner and a soft toothbrush, but I don't want to do anything that could damage it. It's lasted all these years, I'm not going to see it ruined on my watch.
Any suggestions, or should I leave it as-is??
