If you really want it reblued, I don't think a quality job will hurt its value. Neither will hunting afterwards as long as you take care of it. Just wax it to protect from corrosion, and I would put new grips on to save wear on the originals.
I have several guns that have gone many miles holstered in the field. While none could be described as safe queens, all but one if call VG condition. None are ugly.

I think a badly worn ( finished ) gun can become the opportunity have have a special one of a kind.I would never condone sending a gun off to Fords ,unless it was in bad shape.The results will be spectacular,and give the OP something to marval at.He can pick up a 629 series for field use anywhere.
