Picked up what I believe to e one of the 10,000 Contract Colts built in Hartford and shipped to Argentina with a unique serial number.(this one is 87xx). Has the rampant pony on one side and the Argentinean crest on the other side. Frame matches the slide and barrel where all serial numbers were stamped and everything else looks original. Not sure on grips and the mag is definitely not original.
Anyone have any advice on how to take care of a gun this old with a worn finish and a few spots of rust in the rear slide cuts? I don’t want to find out that Hoppes #9 will strip what’s left or that CLP will do damage. I do have Renaissance Wax that use on many of my firearms but would rather hear from someone with experience.
