Picked up a Model 1900 today. Barrel marked MODEL 1900, 22 SHORT & LONG.
It is in pretty good condition for its age, definately shootable. Not my area of collectables, and will likely sell or trade it. A few questions :
1. All the metal has a light coat of " neglect " ( rust ) that will rub off on your hands.
Should I use some elbow grease and clean it up ? Or leave it like it is ?
2. Is this a collectable / desirable gun ?
3, Is there a source for info on these ? Number made, etc ?
4. Any idea of value ?
Thanks for the help, Rick
