I don't normally recommend restoration, but that gun is a good candidate for a quality restoration. I say that because it has no serious dents, rounded corners, or missing parts. Done properly, a restoration could raise the value of that gun to the over-$1500 level (and I am talking about an acknowledged restoration, not fraud), making the work worthwhile.
If you want to consider it, Google "Turnbull restorations" and send them an e-mail with pics and see what they say.
