DS grades were the least expensive and generally most used and abused grades except for possibly I grades. This specimen is quite nice and would be best left as is. I don't think a full restoration would enhance the value or pleasure of owning it. I have a DS 20 in somewhat lesser overall condition and it will pass from me to it's next owner with no more than a light cleaning and oiling and a little wax on the wood. Neither will I be touching up my increasing gray hair to appear as something I'm not. This is only my opinion and I would not fault anyone for restoring their rusty and dog-chewed gun.
