Amber shellac would be a correct original finish for this gun.
I always approach finish from what the end result is to be. If the wood is real marred up and you are not removing all the surface damage, sometimes a satin at the wood finish is best for more of a freshened up yet aged look. Tru Oil is a good to to finish for many applications. I like it for newer or custom work.
