The 1911 is a typical gun for it's age. I have a few 1911's and there is nothing wrong with this one. It's likely worth the better part of $900. The Winchester has seen use and has limited collector value in that condition, but still a "cool" gun. The Smith looks pretty good in the photos.

I'd used a basic gun cleaner....nothing abrasive. Clean them as you would a brand new blued gun, being careful not to change or damage the finish. A good coat of light oil when you are done and that's it. I use some Pledge lightly on the wood just to brighten and clean it up a bit and call it good. None of this will impact the value, but will help to prevent any future damage from moisture.

I'm Southwest, near Kipling and Bowles. If it would help and you are in the neighborhood I'd drop them in my dip tank for a few minutes for ya one evening....just drop me a PM here. Nothing fancy in the tank, I use Ed's Red, but it works well. BTW, I usually keep the plasticj/wood parts away from the cleaning chemicals. It might just be me, but I don't trust them near my plastic or wood parts.
