Gray, your gun is a grade 2, listed in the serialization book as a 10 gauge with 32" barrels. So you don't destroy what you have, consider wiping the metal down with an oiled cloth and just wipe down the wood too. Others here can give you specific instructions. I'm just telling you this because many vintage guns get absolutely wrecked when novice owners think they have to improve the gun, when in reality they ruin them. Aside from mechanical repair they are only original once. Refinished guns have minimal to no interest for me. Of course it's your gun and you can do whatever you want.
