 A gun shop owner told me of a trick used at Gun Shows to brighten up a dull firearm, just rub it down with "Scotts Liquid Gold" . That should make it shine and seal it from rust for a while, repeat as needed. Just spray your clothe and rub it on rather then directly spraying the gun.

 It sounds like too much family history is represented in the scratches, bumps and rust spots to remove them.

Everytime I get something, like a stereo component or VCR, etc., with a packet of silica gel included I keep it. I now have a mesh bag full of those packets in my gun safe and haven't had a gun rust on me. I don't know if it would work for you too.

I throw pennies in my gun cases and the corrosion attacks the copper and depleats the moisture in the case "grandaddy taught me that" but I also keep the silica packs.  I will use the gun from time to time for varmits and such.  The gun is crazy accurate.  I thank y'all for the input.  The gun has been on the Gulf Coast for 60 + years and is pretty good shape.  I'll treasure it always. 

Also:

For moisture protection in boxes and safes, use Fresh-Step cat litter crystals. It has to be the crystal type.....it is basically the same silica that is used in dessicant packs. I remember reading about it in a GUNS Magazine article. Just put it in an old sock or old pantyhose and hang it in your safe.

And don't let your cat near the safe.    ;D
