Confirm if the barrels are still 32". If not, forget the restoration route. You might consider looking for a donor gun. Even if the donor isn't also grade 3, a good stock guy can rework it to give drop points, and then properly finish and checker in Gr. 3 pattern. The 10ga guns are found in 2 and 3 frame, and a 1 frame 10 was reported here. Lots to digest, so don't be in a rush.
