[QUOTE="Honeybee, post: 1391617, member: 3655"] 1+ for leave it as is, Don't try to clean it up or it will de-value it, You can use a gun cleaning solvent to clean it after shooting it but don't use anything any stronger and don't try to use steel wool or scotch bright on it to make it "cleaner looking" A true collector would not shoot this gun, I can not read your serial number so I can not tell you what year you have but if you had a first production (1912) Army colt, their value runs from $3000 in this condition to over $10,000 in near mint condition. If you want to learn how to break it down, bring it over and I will teach you how. [/QUOTE]
