some years ago, i ran across a post 64 m94 still in the box, never been fired. The problem being it lived it's life in that box in a swamp coolered house here in phx, it was a nice shade of brown all over the exterior. Inside and bore were new. I got rid of the brown as much as i could, and turned it over to a gunsmith to refinish.
he got the majority of the pitting/rust off the exterior, and gave it a nice blue finish. Problem was with reciever, bluing wouldn't stick to it being some kind of alloy. So the receiver was cerrakoted and baked to a slightly different color. It is now a two tone 94, but quite distinctive. I paid 100bucks for the gun, and another 150for the refinish, thought i got a pretty good deal.
You did well.
