You're very lucky that honest people bought the house.
The gun looks to have most of its original case color, though somewhat darkened.
The rust should be removed only by use of Frontier Pads and Hoppe's. Don't use any other abrasives or polish as they will remove the case color. It can be easily saved and if you're at all handy you can probably do it yourself. Just go slow and ask questions here whenever you feel you don't have the answers.
Welcome!
