Matt,
SUperb!
I am a restore-a-holic - been restoring old firearms for most of my life. I too do it the sympathetic way (there is NO sandpaper whatsoever in my restoration repertoire!). Knocks, bruises, dings... all history. Leave them be.
I think a wooden octagonal tube scope would look great on this, or even one of the LONG early Japanese refractors.
