Im not really interested in the resale value. Prisitine versions of these guns seem all over the place for 3-500$. The colt just has huge sentimental/family vlaue as it is said to be the personal side arm my great granfather loved and carried into WWI. I just want to get it firing again for my kids and to honor him. And I would like to clean it up if possible.

So I will re-phrase my question in light of all this great info. Can a polishing wheel with just some mothers polish cause damame and, if so, are there any simple ways to restore some of her early charm? Again, not fworrie about resale value.

thanks again gentlemen, really appreciate it.
