is there something wrong with the finish - or are you just looking to spruce it up? Are the bores clean and bright? and how long are the barrels?

unless there is a rust issue, rub the metal down with a soft cloth and gun oil (keep it off the wood) or LIGHTLY with very fine steel wool and oil if the is mild rust, A furniture cleaner will work on the wood.

watch ebay for a correct buttplate and that could be a nice shooter, the number is not in the book, but you might want to join up and send for a letter.

You have a nice piece of family history there.
