Oldfarmer:
I just completed a restoration to shooting condition of a vintage L C Smith Grade III gun that was built in 1893. I had it restored along the lines you laid out which is NOT to brand new condition. You'll find some pictures in this thread.
I agree with your approach and will be interested in seeing the final product. I am quite pleased with how mine turned out.
Jim
