The idea of "melting" a gun is quite recent. I am reasonably sure that the gun in question was rusted and the heavy polishing was needed to remove the rust before rebluing. Such rusting is not uncommon in humid condition, like those in Louisiana (or Vietnam). The functioning of the gun should not be affected, but the value has been reduced considerably.
