Since it was your "grandfather's gun" it would be worth the few dollars to have the stock shield engraved with his name, so it will be clear to a future generation as to whom it belonged. At some time if you keep it it may be worth cleaning it up a bit for the next generation, say starting with barrel rebluing, stock refinish, etc. You can't hurt it or just pass it on as is.
