Unless it is in REALLY bad shape I would not have it re-blued. That will seriously affect collector value, and, at least for me, would alter something that was in the family. All those dings have a story. Now if they could only talk. 
Clean it up, post some pics and then shoot the heck out of it. They're a lot of fun.

The rust has really began to freckle all over it. Recomendations on how to clean up the rust without damaging it even more? The rust is my main concern.
It has been in a leather holster for 25+ years and it shows. The muzzle wear goes up 75% of the barrel and the top frame, cylinder and triggerguard have a white frosting all over every edge. The ejector rod is practically white.
The gun has not been cleaned since it was last shot. I can not imagine how long ago that was.
The trigger is also HORRIBLE on it. I think the insides need a lot of TLC.
