Here's my 2 cents for what it's worth.
The stock is beyond saving, the receiver has rust etching in places & the engraving worn, the barrels are off face & will need to be re-fit, that's an interesting sighting modification filed into the opening lever.
I've been down this road many times & in todays world it will probably take at least $4000.00 to make this one right again. I always try to look at the barrels as the foundation for a possible restoration candidate, if the barrels aren't good you're wasting your time & money. Keep in mind that this one will probably be a two to three years project on top of the money spent.
