Work slowly. Don't rush the job. Look and admire along the way.
You can't undo over-cleaning an antique. Honest wear is respectable.

Taking it very slowly. I don't want to restore, but stop the rust. I was amazed at areas on the barrels that I thought would lose the blue when cleaned but instead was rewarded with the original blue underneath. The nitre blued stock screws really got me. Beautiful color. The more I get into this Trojan the more I love it. What is the plain jane butt stock plate made of? Hard rubber? Bakelite? How can one treat for conservation?

The first ones that came out in 1913 were made of gutta percha. Don't know if PB stayed with that until the end of Trojan manufacture or if they changed to bakelite at some point...

This is what happens to the kitchen table when the wife goes on vacation...
Here's a good pic showing what I am up to. Gorgeous case hardened colors internally, but the outside of the receiver... I will need help with complete disassembly but can find no guide but for stock removal instructions. Is there a link? Does this appear to be the original finish on the stock? Thanks for the help and advice. |

It looks like the original finish to me.
You better clean that up before your wife gets home... (words of experience.) .
