Nice gun. I would leave it alone, although others may feel differently

I agree that the metal should be left alone but I would have the wood refreshed. You really can't just do the bad spots IMHO and if you do decide to do it then do all the wood. that's a very nice 410.

That is a very special gun, and I feel having the wood properly refinished would only enhance both it's value and appearance.

Do the refinish and any wood repairs necessary. Is the buttstock original? I ask because of the nose flute shape and the butt checkering style.

It is Remington era comb nose fluting. DelGrego adopted that style on most all of his butt stock replacements but I believe the stock on the subject gun is completely original. It is certainly not a DelGrego skeet gun upgrade.
