Looks like a darn nice D grade trap gun to me. And WELL worth preserving! NOT "restoring." The screws aren't too bad. They can be saved. The wood is fine and needs very little. A new Silver's pad would be right. The shield on the toe line is fascinating. Is it engraved? There could be heritage there.
If the barrels are in good shape, and they appear to be, this gun can still be shot with loads in the 1100 fps range or less.
You have a treasure here. And doubly so because it is a family treasure!
The key is to clean her up. Not "tart her up". Start with a professional strip-and-clean.

Best, Kensal
