Picked up this old thunderer revolver that's has quite a bit of wear (got a decent deal on it because of said wear), is there any remedy for this? Have already tried some very light sanding and that seemingly did nothing! Any advice is appreciated
Looks like nickel plate to me.
Oil the rust spots, wipe it down and wax the nickel plate.
Sand paper is going to do more harm than good.
Same advice if it is chrome for what it’s worth.
Fords Refinishing or a similar company can de-plate/ replate it.
I would leave it as is.
