Agreed MB, it will be a light cleanup.A propos KP's Westley Richards double: Mr. Trigger won't do repairs or refurbishments, at least for us plebs. This is, perhaps, something to bear in mind when buying a new rifle - get it in writing that it can be serviced at the maker's.
Personally, I'd think about getting the rifle re-proofed. If it is tight on face, so much the better, otherwise it needs tightening up. Neither of these ought to be particularly expensive.
As for tarting it up, my personal view is some that light and sympathetic restoration would be appropriate. Don't go the whole American. I'd be particularly careful about any rebluing.
