The gun could be made to look very nice with a simple and inexpensive freshening up. If it were mine I'd take it all apart, soak the finish off the wood with acetone, clean the checkering with an old toothbrush and refinish the wood with Tru-oil. As for the metal parts, they could be cleaned up with 0000 steel wool. I'd have to give some thought to refinishing the barrels, probably I'd just clean them up with steel wool and leave them as is. After it was cleaned, lubricated and assuming that it locked up tight and the barrel wall thickness was adequate I'd shoot it for sure using the proper low-pressure loads.
