I think, at one time, something like this was said about every gun that today
is a rare, historical piece.
And, a gun that is 100 years old (not the design, the actual gun) does have some history, I think.
I could see a reblue, if the finish was gone...
Its your gun, and your money, you should do what makes you happiest. If you do decide to refinish, have the decency to have it returned as close to factory original as practical.
Don't do what I saw done to a P.38 one time. Gun was WWII capture (no import marks), all matching, mags and holster 43 date, was prime except, it had a very nice nickel finish. The owner had done what he wanted, and it was very pretty. His widow, on the other hand was having trouble selling it, as collectors wouldn't touch it because of the refinish, and shooters wanted something modern...
