Well my first rule of thumb When i receive a vintage firearm is to be cautious and only do what is really necessary - restoration doesn't usually equal bringing back to like-new condition. I'd say lets see her first...

Remove or stabilize the rust because that leads to further damage. Replace broken or missing parts to restore function. Lightly remove dirt. That's about it unless you want to put a lot of money into something to make it worth a lot less.
