I understand you desire to restore your Dad's gun, but from what I can see in the pictures, I suspect no one is going to want to restore the gun if for no other reason than liablilty if the gun was ever to be fired and something bad happened.

I'm sure you don't intend for that to happen, but who knows what will happen in the future.

Perhaps,,,, perhaps, if you agreed to have it permanently deactivated in some manner, someone might agree to help.

I think I would clean it up as best you can and put it in a shadow box in honorable retirement.
Then get Dad another gun just like it. It will be cheaper and safer in the long run, and your Dad and your family can enjoy the new gun for years and years to come.
