The decision to restore is rooted in the condition and thickness of the barrels, as well as original length, bore, and choke dimensions. The good part of the action is that the floorplate fit seems to be very good and the seam unmolested, although there is evidence of a need to destroy some engraving areas to repair what appear to be hammer marks. With good barrels, this gun would be a good candidate for restoration. The pin in the stock head can be removed and the hole hidden after a proper invisible repair is done. A full restoration by a high end shop would not be warranted, but someone could help you with the individual problems. It would still cost you a pile.
