A major concern with this gun that I see is of the barrels have been hot blued or not. If they have, you may have a LOT more work than a simple refinish in store for you.
They need to be evaluated closely to know what may have been done to them in the past and how to take it forward.
With a gun like this, it is rare, but it is also a low grade. In most cases it does not make financial sense to restore such a gun. But if you are not interested in financial gain, then it doesn't matter. And that is really the better place to be so that the proper work can be done to it. You do it for the gun, not the money.
