My wife's dad had it given to him probably in the late 50's or early 60's by a rich doctor friend. He took it to his brother's ranch to deer hunt once. I'm not sure he even shot it. I know he didn't bag a deer. He was not really a hunter. Anyway, it has languished in our closet in a nice rifle case for decades. Please advise me on what to do to check the light rust without messing up its original condition. Much obliged for the input. One last thing I didn't mention. It has fancily J.S.A 1900 stamped on the stock.
