I'd leave it just the way it is, a fantastic example of hand labor craftsmanship.
If you refinished it, you would risk losing those oh so flat frame & sideplate sides, and all the other dang near perfectly polished areas. They did them right back then. Pre-war2 then the '50s were another time in manufacturing and it would be a shame to take that away from examples.
I think that gun looks phenomenal just the way it is. Go run some magnum through it, built like a tank.
