Your link works. Thanks for the pictures.

The second gun is a Parker Bros. Trojan and looks like a nice gun but it needs oiled. It looks like it may have some light rust on top of what looks be strong case colors; but its hard to tell how strong the case is from the picture. A gun like that, with all its case color, is a real find and you shouldn't do anything to it that would remove the color!

Clean it with a gun cleaner such as Hoppies #9 and then put some light gun oil on a cloth and apply a very light protective coating to protect it from further rust. Don't try to remove the rust but simply oil it to stop it from getting worse.

If the case color is indeed strong, I would take it to a "competent" gunsmith that knows Parkers and get advice from them on how to proceed.

It looks like a nice gun.
