Go to a local gunsmith and have a talk with him about it. I am not seeing the problem in the pictures, but smoke residue could be cleaned off by a gunsmith I would think. No amateurs or non gun people should mess with them if they are valuable to you. I would be concerned about direct fire damage or rust from water so I would act asap.
