The finish does not look bad at all. The rings in the chambers are from shooting .38 Special lead loads and will clean up. (Use a Lewis Lead Remover kit, available from Brownell's). I would not worry about the end of the ejector rod, but you could use a very fine checkering file and clean it up if you wanted too.
Place a "want to buy" ad on the Forum for a replacement early cylinder stop.
An oversize hand will work if fitted correctly, but I would have a Smith gunsmith look at the ratchets on the extractor before going to an oversize hand.

Lastly, remove that horrid finish from the stocks. I believe Acetone would work for that.
