One more vote to leave it as is (and pass it on to another family member when the time comes). Every scratch, ding, and worn spot is family history, take that away and all you'll have is a refinished gun. If it had been abused or suffered some disfiguring mishap, I'd say restore it by all means. But, all that's 'disfiguring' this gun is evidence that it has faithfully done what it was designed to do.
