The best thing to do is to post detailed photos of the gun. I assume the stock has scratches and worn areas. The stock can be cleaned with Murphy's Oil Soap and then a topcoat finish can be applied that will fill in the scratches and worn areas.
I assume the damascus barrels are dark with oxidation. A damascus finish is differential oxidation, so what you want to do is take off the crud by light rubbing with fine steel wool and a lot of oil. I have also used Flitz abrasive to take off the black oxidized surface. The key is light cleaning, if you rub too hard, all the finish will be taken off, and you will have no alternative but to have the barrels refinished. If there is nothing under the crud but a uniform, shiny surface, the barrels will need to be refinished, like the photo of my barrels. There is Dale Edmonds for whom I gave you his phone number, and also Brad Batchelder, who advertises here, plus several others who do good black and white restoration.
Good luck. Damascus G's can be great looking guns.
