Ross 35 WCF

[Kootenay]

Hi,
I just learned a friend of mine has an old Ross rifle. It is a Ross 35 WCF. It comes complete with the original instruction manual. I am guessing it was made in 1907 and there was very few made. Does anybody have any idea how many of these rifles were made in 35 Cal.?
What would the best course of action be for restoring this rifle, or is it best left unmolested?
It was used on the East Coast as a hunting rifle and was passed down in a family. I have no financial interest in this rifle. It seems to me that it is possibly a very rare rifle, particularly as it still has the original Ross manual and it should be treated as special.
Looking forward to any advice that I can pass on?

Thanks in advance.
